Estimate
Macerated cherry, wild strawberry and mineral aromas and flavors… As this builds to a long conclusion, the intensity, fat and silky texture emerge, only to be challenged by solid grip on the very long, spice-tinged finish.
...pretty aromas of cassis, cherries, black tea, rose petals and spices. On the palate, it's full-bodied, supple and satiny, with a textural attack, a fleshy, succulent core of fruit and a pure and expansive finish. Open-knit and charming...generous, head-turning Clos de Bèze that delivers immense pleasure...
Gun-smoke and flinty notes, wild herbs and sous bois with super fine cherries, as well as crushed red flowers...palate has a sleek and appealingly powerful feel that expands fully on fine, long and fresh tannins. The regal finish is already impressive.
...rich, generous bouquet of copious red cherry and wild strawberry fruit tinged with Earl Grey and tobacco...palate is well balanced with fine, supple tannin and a keen line of acidity...precise, not overly complex, but very well proportioned, building gradually toward the grippy yet elegant finish. Excellent.
...there is good verve to the relatively finely detailed broad-shouldered flavors that exude noticeable minerality on the tension-filled and muscular yet highly seductive finish that is both beautifully balanced and long.
Plenty of concentration on the palate with a thick, fibrous texture on the finish.
