A conspicuously cool and restrained nose of reticent but elegant red currant is liberally seeded with earth, spice and humus notes. There is a beguiling sense of underlying tension and vibrancy to the middle weight flavors that are underpinned by wonderfully refined tannins that impart a highly sophisticated palate impression to the gorgeously long finish. This doesn’t have quite the overall depth of the Clos de Vougeot but it’s notably finer. (91-94)/2023+
