It is always rewarding to see what a village wine can be in the hands of a master; sweet, smoky nose with lots of minerals, green herbs, quite intense with the powerful aromas of a premier cru, interesting presence of talc at the back of the nose; sweet and ripe in the front of the mouth, but not diffuse; focused citrus fruit flavors, lots of sharp acidity that one would expect from this producer; balanced and classy; long finish; perhaps lacking some in complexity, but not without making its presence felt. (17/20)

What a difference in style from the Morey; the nose on this wine is ripe and rich with sweet caramel aromas, honeyed fruit, spicy notes with white pepper; citric and acidic and tight in the mouth but more forthcoming than the Morey; a bit light and does not seem to have the stuffing that the Morey wine did; citric and lemony at the finish which has a spicy bite at the end, but not unpleasant; I don’t think that this is as serious a wine as the Morey, but good overall.

Perfumed and minerally with strong presence of beeswax, green herbs, and smoke, quite intense nose with an aggressive flair, but not unpleasant; minerals and citric lemony flavors define this wine on the palate at this stage; the wine tastes tight and young and somewhat immature; lean and focused with an intensity that is almost painful; very long finish, and this wine needs a lot more time before it can be fairly judged, but I suspect that this is going to become very serious. (18.5/20)

Lively and sweet nose, honeyed and perfumed, dense and deep with hints of beeswax and paraffin; sweet in the mouth, rich and ripe with strong hints of honeyed fruit; very strong presence of lemon peel flavors; touch of minerals; a little touch of bitterness in the middle of the mouth, but that gives way to a smooth and silky finish with elegant sweet citrus flavors. (18.5/20)

* Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
A pretty reluctant nose at first, light and lemony with hints of shale and smoke, later more sweet fruit and ripe aromas that fill out the picture; the flavors parallel the nose, starting out a bit thin and lemony with a notable citric tone that borders on hardness; but with more time, ripe rich fruit emerges; the finish is loaded with fruit and sweet flavors; better than the ’98. (17/20)

Classic nose here, loaded with sweet fruit and sour cabbage, minerals, herbs, very smoky; there is an unfortunate presence of sulfur at first, but then the sweet fruit comes out; the wine is a bit thin though for my sense; also a bit harsh and penetrating with a biting lemony finish. (15.5/20)

Very perfumed nose with great aromatics, lots of talc and minerals, floral, smoky; sweet, smooth and lemony in the mouth; a bit thin, but good internal structure; light finish and not as interesting as one would like; still all-in-all a good effort. (16/20)

Smoky nose with pronounced slate and shale notes, mixed aromas reminiscent of bacon fat, capers, green pepper, green herbs; sweet and ripe in the mouth with rich fruit; quite concentrated; intense; lots of pronounced lemon flavors with quite aggressive acidity that borders on edgy; still a lot of fat too in the wine; quite complete.

* Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Intense nose, spicy fruit, paraffin, beeswax, white flowers, soft and rich aromas, but also characterized by slate and shale and a strong minerality; sweet on the entry, but then quickly developing mineral notes that have earthen and shale characteristics; spicy, peppery, dry lemon peel flavors; slightly bitter in the mid-mouth; peppery and spicy at the end; perhaps a bit overbearing in the finish. (17.5/20)

* Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Classic opening nose, loaded with petrol and minerals, cabbage, sweet earthen tones, green herbs with a touch of sweet perfume, quite complex and deep; big wine as one would expect from this producer; lots of lemon fruit and dry textures; big core, not yet developed but clearly there to emerge later; a bony wine that should smooth out with more time in the bottle; long, powerful finish dominated with spicy textures and lemon fruit flavors. (18/20)
