Tasting Notes

There is a touch of herbal tea character to the overtly spicy, earthy and brooding nose that is composed primarily of dark currant scents. The vibrant, intense and broad-shouldered flavors possess outstanding mid-palate concentration while offering a highly seductive mouth feel which contrasts marked with the impressively complex and lingering finish where hints of bitter pit fruit and austerity appear. Not surprisingly this is still very much a baby and extended patience will be necessary if you wish to see this at its peak. Drink: 2030+

Medium purple, pinkish, very perfumed, cherries, very graceful, only medium bodied, balanced acidity, really very elegant and extremely persistent. The nose blossoms with time, becomes a cherry blossom glory. This was still a lovely glass to drink some hours later. Tasted Nov 2016.

Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, October 2018

Broad and rich with lots of integrity. Rich and vibrant. As a Clos Vougeot this is quite amazing! Very juicy and complex with layered purple fruits. Fine tannins. Lots there. (JR) 2028 – 2048
