Reduction blocks the nose but there is excellent verve to the intense, pure, robust and beautifully welldetailed
flavors that are underpinned by moderately rustic tannins, all wrapped in a reserved, structured, powerful and
impressively persistent finish. This is a big wine and should be capable of a long life. (93-95)/2024+
Good full red. Complex aromas of dark fruits, coffee, earth, spices and musky soil tones, with nuances of licorice and ashes. Silky and lush in the mouth, but with lovely sappy energy to the ripe dark fruit and spice flavors. Thanks to its sound natural acidity (it's cooler at the top of the Corton hillside), this cuvee began very reductive, noted Prost. Very long on the aftertaste.
