A cool, airy and even spicier nose is composed by ultra-pure red berries and exotic jasmine tea. There is a lovely energy suffusing the refined and detailed medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a beautifully long if decidedly serious, compact and moderately austere finale that also reflects a trace of warmth. This needs to develop better depth but that shouldn't be an issue provided one is sufficiently patient.
From vines planted in 1905. A bright and gorgeous purple. This wine is undeniably super-sensual and shows no sign of being cooked, as far as the nose is concerned. Everything on the palate seems very tightly wound. Crunchy red fruit and acidity to finish, granitic tannins inside the fruit as in 2009, with a sensual volume across the top. A vin de very long garde. So much complexity to come out here. Peaches, plums, raspberries, blood orange – what else? Add a fifth star if you prefer wines in a richer style than classical Burgundy. This is certainly going to have an exciting future. 14.5%.
