Great but needs another 2 years. Spice chocolate. Dark fruits. Dark dark dark. Not hugely fruit though. Almost smoky and very dry. Lovely rose internal aromatics. Wow. Bought from Fass Selections. ... really elegant. Powerful but perfumey. An intense perfume. Still juicy. Great structure. — 7 years ago

Цвет уже уходит в гранатовый. Достаточно ароматное, красные ягоды, клубника, черешня. Специи - гвоздика, ванильный тон, лёгкий оттенок сандала.
Среднее тело, хорошая кислотность. По сравнению с базовой региональной Бургундией более ягодное и пряное.
Танины достаточно заметны, средней интенсивности. Финиш средний. Приятный промежуточный вариант между строгой Бургундией с ее подлеском и Ягодным Новым Светом. — 8 years ago

Day 1: Captivating nose, wet earth, savory cooking spices, a spice bazaar. Crazy nose. Chestnut as well. Library. So old school smelling but still clean. Very fresh. Elegant and lifting aromas. After a bit red florals start to develop. Initially palate is tannic and elegant. Very spicey, very fine pearly tannins. Big, but well structured and so elegant and fine. I am amazed how elegant and big this wine is. The fruit starts to come out and is detailed and impressive. Amazing fruit after a while. All deep morello cherries. Really impressive stuff. Such power and finesse.

Day 2: Nose is insane today. A spice bazaar, cherry, black cherry fruits, mint with the fruit much more prominent in the nose today. Big, dense and intense but with great purity and freshness but clearly could use 4-8 years in the cellar to mellow out. Silky fruit of wonderful vividness. Long lingering and nicely mineral finish with shades of different cherries.

So tasty - such a gem, picked this up in northern Italy years ago, Vino Liquorizo at about 19% it wears it well. Not a hair out of place. Plums & figs, Christmas Fruit Cake, black fruit, chocolate but not decadent, beautiful balance & weight, not as viscous as you might think - lithe, graceful w/really long lingering finish. — 3 years ago

Grapefruit and peaches on the nose. Tons more tropical fruit and lemon as it gets air. Fun, fine bubbles and loads of lees. — 8 years ago

Last wine of the night. Nice tension and muscle to this. Multi layered fruit to stave off any excessive tannic kick. — 3 years ago
