Extremely fine, youthful nose with a totally fascinating floral beauty. Incredibly silky, this great Burgundy masterpiece shines with breathtaking finesse, the enormous concentration and power totally underplayed. Super-long and super-refined finish with gigantic mineral freshness. It feels as if the wine puts you on a silver tray and lifts you up to the heavens. Drink or hold.

Featuring black cherry, black currant, violet, graphite, sandalwood and oak spice aromas and flavors, this silky red is pure and seductive. There's also a firm underlying structure, with its saturated fruit fused to an ironclad frame. Shows superb harmony and an extended aftertaste. Best from 2028 through 2050. 250 cases made, 40 cases imported.

The pure and strikingly elegant nose combines notes of wonderfully spicy aromas of black cherry and exotic Asian-style tea that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is fine volume to the velvety and seductively textured flavors that possess excellent richness yet fine detail on the hugely long if decidedly firm finale where touches of austerity and warmth appear. In a word, excellent.
