"From a 0.70 ha parcel of 55+ year old vines that for the last 5 years has been worked exclusively by horse. Here too the range of spice elements is breathtakingly broad on the ripe and super-fresh aromas of dark berries, plum, tea, anise and hoisin, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. As is usually the case there is much more evident minerality suffusing the impressively concentrated and vibrant middle weight flavors that possess cuts-like-a-knife delineation on the explosively long and intensely saline finish. This is also a combination of the Vosne-Romanée Beaux Monts and Ech as it possesses the elegance and finesse of the former with the power and focus of the latter. In short, this is brilliant."
