Tasting Notes

(from Domaine-owned fruit in two similarly sized parcels - one at the top and the other at the bottom
of the slope). An elegant and admirably pure nose of warm earth, subtle spice and relatively fresh red currant and plum
aromas leads to rich, detailed and tension-filled flavors that display a taut muscularity on the mouth coating and relatively
refined finish that is supported by firm and buried tannins as well as stunningly good length. The Echézeaux is an excellent
wine but this has another dimension present. A superb effort though patience will be required. (93-96)/2026+

Deep red. Reticent aromas of black cherry and licorice. Quite ripe yet delicate on the palate, with good backbone to the juicy flavors of blackberry, herbs, spices and flowers. Suave and nicely delineated but not particularly expressive today. No shortage of energy here, but this will also need patience.
