Pale ruby / brick. Beautifully perfumed nose of dried cranberries, violets, cinnamon and a hint of aniseed. In the mouth this is a superbly structured Burgundy with crisp acidity sustaining the length of the palate and a medium+ level of very finely grained tannins. Layers of complex floral, earth and fruit flavours combine with ethereal results in the very long finish. Wow. Drink now - 2015+. Tasted October 2008.
**Note: from a .60 ha parcel in En Gémeaux**
A ripe, fresh and highly complex nose features a mix of both primary and secondary dark berry fruit scents along with plenty of Gevrey-style earth and discreet spice nuances. There is excellent intensity to the relatively broad-shouldered flavors that possess fine volume and very solid mid-palate concentration before culminating in a firmly structured, mineral-driven, serious and overtly austere finish. This is very impressive but note that to my taste it is still at least 5 years too early to be popping any corks on this beauty.
