From the legendary 2-acre lieu-dit in the centre of Aÿ. Two hours after opening, this is still a tight and youthful wine even at ten years old, slender and energetic, with aromas of flowers, bright red fruit and a whiff of black cherry; there is a welcome hint of warmth from the wood, the palate is fresh and flowing with gently grippy tannins and a hint of cream; the finish displays notes of earth and liquorice and has excellent drive and length. (92). An hour of decanting relaxes the wine and opens up and deepens the aromas, and this also puts the stems (100% whole bunch fermentation) in a clearer perspective. It’s not a luscious wine, it is intellectual rather, but is has real backbone and probably just enough creamy roundness to allow this to go on. It would be so nice to revisit this in ten years (cellartracker)
