Note di degustazione
Good medium red. Redcurrant and smoky oak on the nose, with darker fruits and flowers emerging with air. A sweet, lightly saline midweight, with intense berry, mint and mineral flavors showing lovely inner-mouth lift. Finishes classically dry and still a bit youthfully clenched, with a sound acid/tannin backbone to support aging.

Very overt oak, giving a toasty, chargrilled flavour. Clearly very flash – but at the expense of the fruit, perhaps? It’s very difficult to get past the oak. (RH)
Good bright, medium red. Red cherry, redcurrant, smoke and white pepper on the nose, complemented by mellow oak tones. Rich, dense and silky, with a dominant flavor of sweet raspberry. Really opens out on the back half, then grips the palate on the very long finish, which features a note of bitter orange zest. This wine began with the lowest potential alcohol of all of Faiveley's grand cru holdings in 2011 (it was 11.8%, chaptalized to 12.6%), and will rely as much on its acidity as on its tannins for aging.
