with thanks to Bruce Khouri). Massively constructed and still relatively primary in every respect with its seductive and wonderfully complex blend of spice and black pinot fruit plus a pungent, penetrating minerality that leads to still firm medium-bodied flavors supported by vibrant acidity and simply huge length. The tannins coat the mouth yet they are ripe and the wine exudes balance and harmony and while this is stunning now, it is still not completely ready and personally, I will give my remaining bottles another 5 years or so first. However, it is sufficiently close to ready that it can certainly be enjoyed now if given 30 minutes of air first. And for those who enjoy very much burgs, not only is the '93 Cros one of the truly great wines of the vintage but it's also one that will be with us 50 years from now. Multiple, and consistent, notes.,

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
