Dense red-black in the glass. Depth of boquet- crushed fruit, some fragrance and faint soil. In the mouth- velvet and soft. Majestic fruit, both forward and concentrated in the mid. Quite round and with grand cru length. Superb balance with formidable power and structure. Life span appears endless. Paired well with veal and lamb loin chops, and champagne-onion risotto.

Deep red with the slightest bricking effects. Bouquet exhibits red and black fruits, floral notes, and damp moss and earth. Very soft and gentle in the mouth. The fruit is there, but certainly in the mid. Cherry and some plum as well. Very nice length, which demonstrates progressive minerality and terroir. Extremely elegant and quite subtle.

Claret-red with just a hint of bricking in the glass. One the nose, lush red fruit with subtle notes of roses, rum and a faint but noticeable aroma of toffee. In the mouth, lush and silky-fine velvet that soothes the palette. Crushed red and black fruits, with the former in the lead. Fine tannins, elegant minerality and length in abundance which evolves into an expression of soft earth and a hint of chaulk which lingers for minutes. Glorious and still young. Des notes superb mid palette presence and truly impressive length.
