Tasting notes

Reviewed by: Stephen Tanzer
Intriguing, soil-inflected aromas of pear, grilled nuts, smoke and flint. Rich and tactile, with more obvious depth and sweeter fruit than the Chassagne villages Sweet flavors of pear, nut oil and clove are complicated by a liqueur-like note of amaretto. Finishes very long, with strong powdered stone and a hint of marzipan. Very distinctive, rich wine with the stuffing and balance to age slowly.

(malo not finished) Explosive aromas of peach, nectarine, nutmeg, smoke and grilled nuts. Spicy and impressively concentrated, with the nutty nuance carrying through on the palate. Chewy, tactile and dry but smooth. Finishes strong and long but also quite elegant. Old-viney in its creamy texture.
