Tuesday, January 4, 2011 - When Dujac gets it right there aren’t many better things. This is heroically awesome. Bright, crunchy red cherries, a touch of meatiness, a little iodine and all wrapped in a briny presentation make for an outstanding nose. Sweet red fruit mix with blackberry, dark bread, beef bouillon and stones for a complex and supremely layered mid-palate. Lots of assertive tannins and bright acidity on the finish speak to the utter youthfulness of this wine. Showy without being excessive in any way. A tremendous effort, a beautiful wine and something that will be a winner in the cellar for years. It will likely never achieve any sort of legendary status but this is a barn-burner of a Burgundy. 94 with room to grow.
