Tasting notes
Bright, moderately saturated red. Spicy aromas of blackberry, licorice and violet. Tight and serious in the mouth, with dark berry and violet pastille flavors accompanied by strong coffee/mocha torrefaction. At once feminine and firm, finishing with sound tannins and acids. Very different in style from the Gevreys here.

Dense and rich and polished. Lovely sumptuous stuff. Complete. The second lovely Baudes tasted today. (JR)
Good full, deep red. Blueberry, raspberry and musky game on the nose, lifted by crushed-stone minerality. Less full than the Fontenys but juicy and accessible; in a rather soft style but still with good cut. Lovely fruit here, and plenty of ripe tannins to give the wine a sound structural underpinning.
