96 JGWA "Initially this was tasted blind and I was blown away by it. At first sniff I was led to the Rhône, but it quickly became clear that it was a serious Burgundy. Lovely perfumed nose is fresh and intense with some spiciness, a hint of animal character and vivid aromas of red fruits. The palate has a lovely spicy structure. Very elegant with a wonderful freshness to the vibrant fruit. Breathtaking effort that’s drinking very well now. Excellent." 91 AM "An expressive nose offers up notes of ripe crushed black fruits and sexy, perfumed aromas of fresh flowers, Asian spices and earth. There is good focus to the rich, solidly well-concentrated and relatively powerful flavors that are balanced and harmonious while terminating in a firm and impressively lingering finish."
