Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com – 17.5
Sweet and lively on the nose, the oak consumed by the fruit. Extremely fine tannins – almost chalky they are so fine grained. Very dry yet smooth and fresh. Excellent length. (JH)
Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030
Vinous – 92-94
(aging in two-thirds new oak): Dark red. Black fruits, flowers, minerals and licorice on the vibrant nose, plus a whiff of truffle; I would have picked this blind as a Cote de Nuits wine. Dense, sappy and sweet but with a light touch and excellent definition thanks to its firm underlying minerality. At once delicate and strong, finishing spicy and long, with a flavor of crunchy berries. Not an earthy style of Corton.
