Tasting notes
Good deep red. Musky black cherry, raspberry, fresh herbs and sexy oak on the nose. Sweet, lush and creamy, with a combination of sappiness and roundness giving it great early appeal. In the fruit-driven style of this producer's 2005s, but more pliant and sweet than most of them.

Slightly tired sample but lots of richesse. Broad, full, briary. Very slightly rustic. (JR)
Good full red-ruby. Scented, very fine aromas of black cherry, flowers and minerals. Sweet and fat but more backward than the Malconsorts, with a sappy cherry flavor complicated by minerals and fresh herbs. In its subtle intensity of fruit, this shows Musigny-like class. Finishes with terrific aromatic persistence. My score may prove to be conservative.
