Medium cherry-red. Deep, complex, expressive aromas of red fruits, smoke, earth and underbrush. Sweet, fat and smooth but with a medicinal reserve to its black cherry and mineral flavors. Conveys a strong impression of saline soil tones. The Clos de la Roche seems riper but this is more minerally and taut.
Good medium red. Restrained nose hints at pepper. Minerally, taut and evolving slowly; less sweet and fat today than a couple of these grand crus but more serious. Finishes tight and firm, with good thrust and minerality.
