Tasting notes
Good medium red. Lovely floral lift to the aromas of red cherry, raspberry and medicinal menthol. Juicy and nicely delineated; less fat than the Vosne-Romanée but juicier and brighter. The Vosne is spicy while this is fruitier. Finishes firmly tannic but not dry, with fresh lingering perfume.

A fine and silky red with dried strawberry, lemon rind and spice. Full to medium body, juicy finish. Drink now.
(includes 30% premier cru juice): Healthy medium red. Good lift but a slight greenness to the aromas of cherry, licorice and spicy herbs. Sappy and fresh on the palate, showing good ripeness and considerable early sex appeal to the sexy black fruit, spice, licorice and earth flavors. Finishes with dusty tannins and pleasing energy.
