There’s some smoked meats and a note of camphor mixing it up with dark fruits. The palate is rich, dense and creamy and it is a powerful wine with real presence.

Dark fruited, smoke, some earth and clear coffee notes on the finish. I really liked this, finding it deep and layered, though Geoffrey noted a bit rustic which I agree with

Has a smoky, rich and powerful nose. There are notes of camphor, Asian spice, black fruits and earth. It is sweet and concentrated with a core of black cherry and plenty of meaty/savoury nuance. Tannins are ripe and flavours linger for a long time after swallowing.

Really loved this wine. Bright colour with no browning; surprisingly fresh looking despite its 14 years.
Nose: Beautiful intense, complex, brambly-briary yet with rich succulent fruit apparent.
Palate: Superb. Lovely texture and complex flavours of rich red-dark fruits and brambly-briary-cedary spices as well as truffles and leafy mouldy earthy characters, in good concentration but with nice soft edges; almost sumptuous. Distinctly superior to a lovely 2002 MM Echezeaux that we had a couple of weeks ago, essentially on the grounds of fruit concentration, texture and complexity. Great wine.
