One of the most Burgundian wines on earth.

Nose: earthy. But the good earthy. Cherry flower.

Palate: perfect cherry. But more mountain stream than fruit. Classic burgundy from 40 years ago. Mineral. Floral. Elegant. Long. Perfect.

A quiet perfection

A very particular wine. A very Burgundian cab.

A very very geeky wine.
