Estimate
...endowed with a more reticent bouquet that demands more coaxing from the glass. But what scents emerge are very well defined and stony...palate is medium-bodied with a structure entry that feels full in the mouth. It is relatively assertive compared to the other premier crus with fine tension towards the linear and focused finish.
Ripe raspberry and black plum aromas are complicated by underbrush, wild herbs and a hint of prune; slightly liqueur-like. Rich and velvety in the mouth, with wild, brambly black fruit and menthol flavors underpinned by solid minerality.
Fragrant like the village wine, perhaps more so, with a touch of spice. More chew but still with the fruit to push the tannins to the background. Long and elegant and such a light touch allows the fruit to shine.
