A mature, expressive and distinctly earthy nose features notes of various red berries, old leather and whiffs of spice and smoke. There is excellent size, weight and solid power to the larger-bodied flavors that retain good muscle on the impressively long, complex and impeccably well-balanced finale that is shaped by bright, but not drying, acidity. For my taste this beauty has peaked though it's a wine that should continue to drink well for years to come.
There is even more aromatic complexity with similar and brilliant red and black fruit notes though not the spice with superbly sappy, concentrated and very pure flavors that display flat out incredible length and impeccable balance. This will join the ranks of some of the best vintages of Ponsot's Clos de la Roche, which is saying something. It is however built for the very patient.
