A sleeper of the vintage, this excellent offering possesses a deep ruby/purple color as well as a sweet nose of melted asphalt, cedar wood, black currants, gravel, and tar. There is plenty of well-integrated tannin along with surprising size, richness, and aging potential (particularly for a Cru Bourgeois). Anticipated maturity: 2006-2015.
I underrated this wine en primeur. There is still a note of green on the nose but it now seems refreshing rather than underripe and there is lovely bracing fruit on the palate. (JR)
Light nose. Slightly underripe green notes. Chunky green tannins. No pleasure. (JR)
