  low fill. slightly browner bricking than la tache. complex, layered nose is very colourful and profound: notes of faded roses, truffles, spices, wood-smoke, and caramel. beautifully balanced, extremely penetrating, incisive, yet opulent and expansive flavour-- a melange of eidetic fruit and spices that is complex but seamlessly integrated. silken texture, enormous length, brilliant finish echoes and re-echoes

  Initially closed and very dark, this bottle took all of 1.5 hours to open, but wonderful energy on the finish when it did. Tightly packed palate requires close attention and real focus.

  Like the Jayer and Rousseau, this was perfection. Perfect cherries, spices, nuance and texture. Driven minerality which gives the wine a precision and clarity that other wines cannot achieve. Long and persistent finish. This is exactly what you would hope for in a DRC RC.

  Consistent to my Dec 2016 note. Perfect balance and purity. I don’t see how there could be any more in a wine, this is an image of beauty. Seemingly endless flavours with the spellbinding bouquet to match. Decidedly superior to the La Tâche tonight, which was also excellent. No detailed notes tonight, but this was magic.

  The nose is not as delicate or flirty as the LT, but with more heft on the palate. Exotic spices, light funk, black raspberry, black plum, and cola notes with air time. Showed younger than its age. 98-99+
