Tasting Notes
Vinous – 95
Dark red-ruby. Exotic, in-your-face aromas of dark raspberry, dried rose petal, violet, licorice and minerals. Wonderfully silky on entry, then lush and sweet in the middle, offering a magical combination of fine-grained texture, sharp definition and underlying minerality. As sexy as this is today-and it’s much more expressive now than it was from barrel a year ago-its long, echoing, spreading finish and captivating palate-saturating sweetness suggest it will gain in complexity for a decade or two.

Very dense and highly spiced (more so than the Chambertin). Very heady. The first knock-out drop in this cellar! Magnificent complex seducer. So dense yet wonderful balance. Bitter cherries, very, very fine tannins, wonderful freshness! Crunchy fruit, great harmony. The business. Great lift too.
