A ripe, silky red, with rose, cherry, black currant, mineral and smoky spice aromas and flavors infusing a refined profile. Seamlessly built and extremely long, this features fine complexity, finesse and potential for aging. Best from 2026 through 2045. 15 cases imported.

(92-94 points) This is one of the few wines in the range to display more than a soupçon of wood influence and even here it's subtle on the more floral-suffused and attractively fresh aromas of spice black raspberry coulis. There is first-rate intensity to the refined and lacy mineral-driven medium weight flavors that maintain excellent focus on the wonderfully long, balanced and youthfully austere finale. As is usually the case, this is a Haut-Doix of finesse.
