Tasting notes
(these 2010s were bottled in September of 2012): Medium red. Sexy, soil-inflected aromas of raspberry and earth. Smooth, sweet and deep, with lovely juicy acidity and smoky minerality giving lift and shape to the mid-palate. The tannins fade into the fruit on the very pure, persistent finish. Excellent energy here.

Moss and sweetness on the nose. Lively and very bright fruited. Good energy here. A bit of bitter fruit on the finish adds life. (JR)
Good full red. Very reduced on the nose. Then aromatically complex in the mouth, with redcurrant fruit complicated by sexy earthy perfume. Sweetness nicely leavened by lively acidity. A bit tougher on the back end today than the Vaumuriens, with the tannins reaching the incisors.
