Vinous (93)
Healthy dark red. Aromas and flavors of crushed black raspberry, coffee, licorice and sweet oak spices; smells creamier than the Poissenots. Fat, sweet and deep on the palate, conveying near-grand cru volume and a wonderfully silky texture. This big boy finishes very long, with fine-grained but firm tannins.In Bond€140.00 -
Vinous (90-93)
(from 65-year-old vines): Bright, deep red. Medicinal black cherry and minerals on the reticent nose. Densely packed and youthfully imploded, showing little in the way of early sweetness. The pungent black cherry, blackberry and licorice flavors show terrific clarity and class but will require extended aging to blossom in bottle. The tannins spread out to saturate the entire palate on the long, perfumed, violet-tinged finish.In Bond€115.00 -
Vinous (92+)
Dark red with ruby tones. As primary as a barrel sample today, conveying a slightly reductive quality, not to mention a touch of rusticity, to the aromas and flavors of black fruits, dark chocolate, licorice and leather. Very rich, deep premier cru with strong salty minerality and an obvious oak element to its tannins. This is the longest and most perfumed 2014 to this point in my tasting.In Bond€108.00 -
