Hudelot Baillet, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2011 I was really looking forward

I was really looking forward to the bottled version of the 2018 Pingus after a great showing of the cask sample last year

As it was from cask this is more restrained than usual and it requires aggressive swirling to coax the pure and spicy essence of red berry fruit aromas to emerge from the glass where there is a slight hint of herbal tea present

Stylistically the 2007s remind me of the 1997s in terms of their opulence

This has great potential

Les Quartz and the Cuvee Reserve) in any vintage

Hudelot Baillet, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2011 I was really looking forward(from a . 123 ha parcel of 80+ year old vines situated mostly in terres blanches; about 600 bottles are produced each year). This is the only wine in the range to exhibit any reduction and here its enough to dominate the fruit. There is excellent punch, power, size and weight to the big bodied and muscular flavors that terminate in a balanced and impressively long finale that could again use better depth.
