Note di degustazione
I have to wonder whether this bottle in the large Clos St. Jacques tasting was flawed as the earthy secondary suffused nose is overtly vegetal while the middle weight flavors are drying, clipped and tough. In sum, there was precious little to like even if it wasn't undrinkable. 86/now. I say that "I wonder" whether the bottle was representative as another example tasted in 2013 was really quite pretty and seemed much better balanced. That note is: There is just a touch of secondary development to the otherwise gorgeously pure and still very fresh red pinot and raspberry fruit nose that is nuanced with hints of spice, crushed leaf and earth. There is good delineation to the supple and wonderfully complex flavors that explode on the strikingly long finish where some gas is in evidence; as such I would recommend decanting this for 20 minutes first.

Very rich and intense. More winning than the 2005! Quite a bit of acidity but a nice luscious drink. (JR)
Good full red. Reticent but ripe nose is a bit more animal and less floral than usual for this vineyard. Then denser and sweeter on the palate than the nose suggests, with a chewy texture and impressive palate coverage. Very sappy, concentrated and suave, with dark cherry and mineral flavors currently in the deep background. But this offers terrific breadth for the vintage, and the tannins are fine.
(vines planted in 1910) Bright red-ruby. Reduced aromas of currant, raspberry, flowers and fresh blood. Very ripe and suave on entry, then dense and backward in the middle, with superb acidity contributing vibrancy to the cherry and mineral flavors. Not at all overly sweet, but this has the concentration and extra depth that comes from tiny berries. Finishes rich and solid, with firm tannic spine and terrific chewy length.
