Pale garnet. Dark dried cherries, liqourice, violets, Asian spice, forest floor, vegetal, mushrooms. Fully developed. Endlessly changing aromas as you swirl the glass. Dry palate, high acidity, med - , fine tannins, medium alcohol and body, long, long finish. Flavours similar to the nose - the cherries are more noticeable as is the spice. This is outstanding, mature Burgundy that is drinking perfectly now. The fruit is balanced by the acidity, the tannins are nicely integrated, and the finish goes on and on. Great energy. No sign of the greeness mentioned by other tasters. I don’t think this has the fruit concentration to age further - the acidity could start to dominate. Drink in the next couple of years.

Touches of herbal tea and forest floor sit atop the mix of various red berry fruit aromas that are liberally laced with secondary nuances. There is both fine intensity and detail to the medium weight flavors that exude evident minerality on the delicious, complex and lingering finish. While there is still some supporting structure there is also a touch of backend leanness that suggests that this may eventually develop some dryness. At present this is already drinking quite well though it should hold well over the short to medium-term. With that said, I wouldn't be inclined to hold it for the longer-term.
