93-96 ST.
"Bright red-ruby. Knockout nose combines black raspberry, dried flowers and spices, crushed stone and smoky minerality. Densely packed and wonderfully spicy, with its serious mid-palate volume leavened by wild herb and pepper notes. Much more showy today than the Clos Vougeot. This boasts terrific mid-palate stuffing for a 2008. Finishes with mounting length and lovely subtle perfume." Vinous, Mar 2010 |
