  Med dark red ruby, luminous .
  Dark cherry , dark spice, lovely floral fragrance.
  Velvety , refined , excellent weight and depth of flavour , fine acidity , silky tannins, deep fruit flavours of red black and blue with gentle spice. Delicious. Drinking beautifully but a few more years wouldn’t hurt.

  Deep ruby red.
  Red berry and earth, ripe, but not heavily fruit driven, oak influence is pretty well integrated.
  Silky smooth, velvety, broad on the palate but nice flavours, starting to develop beyond fruit. Tannins quite soft. Drinks well now, maybe could use a couple more.

  This wine from the village section of La Combe d'Orveau (which is actually more like an extension of Echezeaux) is better than many I've had from the Musigny-proximate premier cru part. Except for the medium-heavy CO2 which requires a shakeout, the style is so classic it will give you a Proustian moment. It has a slender, feminine figure with winy flavors past the primary fruit, but still has massive reserves of inner power on account of that old-vine sap (~90 years old according to Weygandt's web site). With a bit more time that primary fruit intensity resurfaces and gives it a vibrant wild-berry fruitiness while retaining those fine proportions. In 2014, I liked this wine better than the Beaux Monts; this has all the best features of the 2014 in terms of its elegance and pure comfort-wine satisfaction yet manages to crank the ripeness dial up a notch or two without sacrificing any of that.
