Tasting notes
(80% vendange entier): Good dark red. Dark, brooding aromas of cherry pit, botanical herbs, smoke and earth. Deep, energetic and penetrating, offering a beautiful combination of volume and focus. This very tactile wine boasts vibrant, highly perfumed flavors of black fruits, pepper and spices and finishes uncompromisingly dry, with firm tannins and superb cut and lift. Showed a riper aroma of strawberry jam after 24 hours in the recorked bottle without any loss of freshness. I'd lay this beauty down for at least six to eight years.

Dark, spicy, cherry fruit. Not yet expressive on the nose. Hint of mushrooms. Pretty austere and dry on the finish but obviously much more to come. A little bit severe even at this stage. (JH)
(80% vendange entier Bright, deep, saturated red. Sweet, nuanced aromas of redcurrant, cherry, chocolate and smoky minerality, lifted by a floral element. Sweet and creamy but juicy in the mouth; a rather muscular Corton, but with the breadth of the vintage in spades. Really spreads out to saturate the palate on the finish, with plenty of ripe tannins to see it through a decade or two of development.
