Tasting Notes

Noticeable wood sets off spicy red berry fruit aromas that possess hints of soy and anise before sliding gracefully into sappy and moderately toasty middle weight flavors that also culminate in a short and slightly bitter finish that I am attributing to the presence of a considerable amount of gas. Despite the awkward showing, this is surprisingly supple and forward for a grand cru.

89/91

Palish red. Aromas of redcurrant, tobacco and soil are less precise than those of the Vosne-Romanee. Supple in texture but a bit autumnal after the last sample. Shows a bit of lift from rose petal but some edgy acidity gives the finish a spiky quality today and needs time to harmonize with the wine.
