Tasting notes
Medium red. Complex, loamy aromas of strawberry, plum, dried rose and smoky underbrush, with hints of chocolate and game: this could only be from Burgundy. Suave and silky in the mouth, but showing a more evolved character than most of the other Cote de Nuits 2009s at this address, with earth, spice and game flavors complemented by smoky minerality. Finishes slightly edgy, with dusty tannins and moderate lift. Is this vibrant enough now to reward aging?

Light nose. Lots of texture. Serious stuff. Lots of chew on. (JR)
Deep red. Sappy aromas of crushed dark fruits, wild herbs, spices and earth. Dense, spicy and saline, conveying a lush, rich texture accompanied by excellent verve. Finishes broad, ripe and long, with a subtle saline quality.
