Tasting Notes

This is even more aromatically restrained than the Chambertin at present with its riper aromas of cassis, poached plum, exotic tea and a broad array of floral influences. The sleek, intense and beautifully delineated large-scaled flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract, all wrapped in a strikingly long, stony and linear finish that is trimmed in just enough wood to merit pointing out. This is also clearly built-to-age and I very much like the complexity.
