Tasting Notes

Once again this is distinctly restrained in style with its cool and attractively refined nose that features a broad mix of super-spicy and floral-inflected aromas that include violet, plum and black raspberry. There is ample minerality and dry extract to the full-bodied and solidly powerful flavors that possess that wonderful sense of underlying tension that carries over to the rich and mouth coating finish. This positively gorgeous effort is crafted in a very firm but not hard package that like all of these grands crus, will require extended patience if you wish to see it at its apogee.
