Deep and pretty dark ruby color. This needs a small moment to open up. Beautifully ripe notes of dark and dark red cherries, blackberries, also some almost „Chaignots“ kind of animalic notes, some sous-bois, truffle, also some medicinal „cough drop“ kind of thing, and some orange zest. It‘s medium-full bodied, dense and pretty powerful, has medium+ tannin that will still need a few more years to integrate, there is medium+ acidity and just a touch of warmth from the vintage. This seems still pretty young but it‘s no sin to open a bottle and see where it is. Lovely, while not on the same level as the top dogs at this fantastic domaine.

Juicy, tight but shows good clarity. Tannic and very NSG. Densely packed with dark lush berry fruit with some meat. Lacks the class of the Pruliers and will need more time in the cellar. 90-92.

Still needs time in bottle. Tannins still hard and wine seemed closed.
