Note di degustazione
Ruby-red. Less expressive on the nose than the Griottes, offering scents of blackberry, violet, licorice and underbrush. Deep but closed today, with a powerful spine to its dark fruit, mineral and iron flavors. There's a distinctly savory quality here that reminds me of Chambertin. A wine of power and outstanding length but very difficult to taste today and not showing its fruit.

Bright ruby. Knockout nose combines cassis, blackberry, minerals and smoked meat. Creamy, deep and layered, combining outstanding concentration and superb inner-mouth lift. Finishes with a whiplash of black fruits and licorice, the tannins thoroughly buffered by the wine's extract. An infant today but already very subtle on the aftertaste.
A conspicuous but again not dominant lashing of wood still allows the complex and highly spiced nose of wild and fresh red currant, plum, earth, humus and a hint of smoke to be fully appreciated. There is a refined mouth feel to the surprisingly supple mid-palate of the broad-shouldered flavors where there is so much dry extract that this appears less structured than it really is, all wrapped in a delicious and admirably long finish where the wood toast reemerges.
