Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 92-95 AM.
"From 75 to 80 year old vines in Pernand that were purchased recently so this is now a Domaine wine. Here the wood is a background nuance if not invisible, highlighting spicy, pure and wonderfully expressive green fruit aromas that are really quite classy while merging into rich, round and stylish medium full flavors brimming with huge amounts of dry extract and an explosive, driving and persistent finish where the wood resurfaces. This is a serious effort but one that is generous and beautifully balanced, which will permit it to age well." Burghound.com, Jul 01, 2007
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $500
