Estimate
Stylistically like the Echezeaux with its reserved, slightly austere fruit and flavors though it offers better density and length. The tannins are round and ripe and there are distinct damp earth notes to the full, rich flavors.
Reduced aromas of black raspberry, mocha, coffee and grilled oak. Fat, sweet and full, with the essential gentleness of the vintage. A big, rich wine with substantial but sweet tannins that spread out to coat the palate.
