This saw slightly more oak than the La Romanée of the Vicomte Liger-Belair but this will rapidly be absorbed and I did not find any material differences between this wine and the wine reviewed in the La Romanée Progress Report below and thus I repeat that note here for ease of reference: An adroit trace of wood frames stunningly elegant, dazzlingly complex black fruit aromas, leading to sappy, mouth coating, powerful and very deep if presently tight and somber flavors of astonishing richness and length. But it's the seamless harmony, superb purity of expression and sheer class that distinguishes this. In a word, breathtaking.
