"45 year old vines aged in 50% new wood. Just like it was from cask, the nose is quite reserved and it's necessary to swirl the glass aggressively to get glimpses of the seductive spicy dark berry fruit that runs to black raspberry and cherry, followed by more spice on the rich, full and sweet flavors that are fresh, intense and driving on the wonderfully long finish. This is decidedly firm with at least a decade of upside improvement. A stunner in every respect."

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.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
