Tasting Notes

This is noticeably more restrained, indeed even backwards, than the Ech but even so there is better
aromatic complexity and breadth to the otherwise similar nose. There is good power and muscle to the intense, concentrated
and well-detailed medium-weight plus flavors that possess a seductively textured, energetic and focused finale that really coats
the mouth with extract. I quite like this as the linear finish displays excellent depth of material. For those who have the patience
to wait, this should prove to be a superb effort in time. (92-95)/2024+

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (42), May 2011

Medium red. Reticent but pure aromas of crushed stone, flowers and tobacco. Fat, silky, pliant and broad; not quite as gripping as the Echezeaux but plush and suave. Here the silky tannins are more thoroughly covered by the wine's sweet fruit. This really perfumes the mouth.
