Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)Absolutely black centre to this with a massively concentrated bouquet, thus far hiding the detail. Inky depths. I would like to see this again after racking. The wine is not destabilised on the palate and the concentration is certainly exceptional, fresher at the finish. There is certainly an awful lot of wine here: buy it if you want a wine for 25 years time! Tasted: November 2021 |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)Very dense purple, old vines on white marl, this usually needs picking later but not this year. Plenty of energy, to the dark fruited bouquet. Very intense, now raspberry and blackcurrant notes, lively finish. Medium plus length, this has some grace. Tasted: November 2021 |
