all wrapped in a slightly warm

spice and wet stone scents

This wine seems poised for a very long

There is outstanding concentration and power to the overtly muscular flavors that possess plenty of palate coating dry extract before terminating in a rustic

dark and deep

(from 45+ year old vines that sit just above Champans)

One-third is aged in older barrels

the edges are softening to a russet colour and the cigar-box edge is apparent

A more discreet and naturally cooler nose of extract of red pinot and blue berry fruit that is also spicy and elegant but here the coolness of the vineyard comes into play in the form of a certain reserve

intense and delicately suave

The delicious and caressing medium-bodied flavors possess a powerful yet caressing mouthfeel while the abundant dry extract coats the palate on the mocha-inflected finish

and the wine extends long over the palate thanks to the momentum it gains from its fruit and its acidity
