The 2016 en Jouise is a touch more precise and mineral than the above, with equal depth at the core and fine nascent complexity in evidence on both the nose and palate. The superb bouquet offers up scents of sappy black...

(90-92 points) Firm reduction renders the nose unreadable at present. More appealing are the sleek, intense and tautly muscular medium weight flavors that possess good detail and plenty of punch on the focused, powerful...

Cherry, currant and wild scrub aromas and flavors mark this sinewy red. Firms up on the finish as much from the vivid acidity as the well-integrated tannins. Best from 2022 through 2033.

Cherry, raspberry, floral, earth and spice flavors grab your attention here, supported by light, firm tannins. This has tension and grip on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2036. – BS

Such a lovely cassis and framboise nose that you'd need to have a problem with red or dry wine not to fall in love with this. Not one of the biggest 2020s in Burgundy, but the balance and texture of this are so beautiful...
