Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Stephen Tanzer
(from vines on the Morey side of the cru; white marl on the upper part of the parcel and darker soil further down): Bright, dark red. Brooding aromas of black fruits, garrigue and licorice lifted by wild mint and white pepper. Lush and thick in texture, but with its superb volume nicely cut by brisk acidity. Flavors of blackberry, spices and herbs carry through a very long, highly perfumed back end, where the tannins are supple and harmonious.
