Darker, chocolate-raspberry notes, richer a bit more austere structurally, slightly rustic with good tannins, dark berry, slight bitter earthy finish. Liked this a little less than the Michel Gros. Needs 5 years, whereas the Gros is good right out of the box. 20% new oak; 100% destemmed, 50 y.o. vines. $90 K&L 2021 Burg tasting.

Subtle oak and emerging earthy forest floor note. Roasted meat, iron, and dried herb note. Pure and transparent fruit of red cherry and red berry. Saline and mineral midpalate. Finishes with bay leaf, spices, and floral nuances.
Medium minus body. Medium plus acidity. Mineral texture with salinity.
Atypically light bodied for a NSG. Still, this is a delicately-balanced elegant NSG village. Pure and transparent red fruit has surprising depth and persistence.
Already very pretty. I expect this to be a relatively early drinking NSG.
