Tasting notes
Good medium red. Fresh aromas of red fruits, spices and mint. Juicy, spicy flavors of small, wild red berries show good lift. Finishes with dusty tannins and a medicinal quality but good ripeness. This seems to be shutting down already.

CS. Jewel fruit. Still embryonic. Parcel very close to Clos des Lambrays. Fresh nose with slightly less precision than the Dujac Fils et Père example tasted immediately before. But on the palate there is a lovely reward. Lovely richness. Very, very long. (JR)
Medium-deep red. Very expressive aromas of briary plum, brown spices, mocha and resiny oak, with a suggestion of surmaturite Then juicy and fresh, with musky flavors of chocolate and herbs and a slightly rustic texture. With its modest density, this seems a bit dominated by its tightly coiled spring of acidity.
