A full bodied wine, but juicy and balanced with nice notes of red berries, complex and showing a little bit of maturity. A hedonistic pleasure with some elegance to it as well.

A dark, deeper nose than the Suchots; brooding rather than perfumed; portends power. Oak shows on the slightly airy alcoholic nose as well. Palate is surprisingly smooth, has prettiness - more harmonized than the early wines in the tasting. Closer to the Suchots in that it has a harmony and sense of completeness, but in a way lacks impact for me - doesn't have a distinctiveness or defining characteristic. A solid 1er cru Gevrey though. With air, the high degree of ripeness shows a faint citrus blossom note like the Suchots or even a Rhys - an indication of the almost New World style of this vintage. 92+
