    Pure beam of red currant and cherry fruit. Brambly fruit with black spices and black peppercorns. Most nicely ripened and roundest fruit of the lot.

    Red ripe focused dark cherries. Great fruit and power with velvet elegance. Still unready and hard to assesss. But definitely royalty in waiting.

    Green weeds and herbaceousness with fresh gingerly roots. Typical of the vintage but still nice red fruits.

    Very much like the Chambertin 04 served before it , this is also herbal with green notes but also still keeping the nice rounded red fruits. On par with the Chambertin.
