"From 0.29 ha parcel of vines planted in 1978. A completely different aromatic profile offers up notes of mineral reduction, spice, floral, tea and lavender. The almost painfully intense middle weight flavors exude ample minerality on the super-saline finish. This is finer, and classier, than the La Romanée but not necessarily blessed with superior aging potential. In a word, excellent."
