Estimate
Extremely floral and offering up slate, blue fruit and lemon rind. Medium-to full-bodied, firm, direct and structured with firm and racy tannins. Pretty length.
...superb, offering up an utterly classic nose of plum, cassis, currant leaf, blood orange, incense and a beautifully integrated framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, supple and expansive, with a deep core of vibrant fruit and an ample chassis of beautifully fine-grained tannins which assert their Clos Vougeot muscularity by displaying a bit of grip on the long, lingering finish.
...palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin...well balanced, with a judicious spicy character enveloping the finish and great sustain on the aftertaste.
A bit introvert and animal on the nose at first but with impressive concentration of ripe fruit on the palate. Bright crunchy fruit that’s still embryonic. Unformed for the moment but very ambitious. Hint of banana!
