Initially I thought this was heat damaged. That did blow off and it displays some red fruit with peppermint front and centre. This is obviously far too young and I won’t open another bottle for 2-3 years. This is a “only” a village wine and almost 10 years old, lieu dit and Le Cras has a reputation of being a slow mover

Elegant, fragrant nose with sous bois, ripe raspberry and spices. Already with an nicely integrated palate, lots of minerality, prominent berry fruit as well as notes of mushrooms and forest floor.

Bigger than the former two. With more spice and dark fruit across the palate. And tighter and more wound up as well. Does not lack for complexity. Needs time.

Didn’t love this. Was a bit linear with muted nose. Wife thought it was too fruity.
