A beautiful, intense ruby-red colour. Powerful but refined aromas. When the wine is young, the aromas are reminiscent of black cherry and dark chocolate. With age, they evolve towards notes of undergrowth, truffle and liquorice. After 15 years or so, the aromas of candied fruit remain but are mingled with nuances of leather and musk. Tannins provide a good structure, perfectly balanced by the velvety texture of the wine. The long aftertaste brings back the aromas of cherry and liquorice: a kaleidoscope of sensations.

Another superb showing from a 2011 red burg. This vintage seems to have really turned a corner. No doubt in a leaner style but absolutely zero greenness or underripe character, but rather exceptionally elegant and detailed with a beautiful perfume and silky palate. Along with this one, my favorite 2011 reds in the past year… -Mugneret Gibourg Clos Vougeot -Vogue Bonnes Mares -Bertheau Bonnes Mares -Fourrier Combe Aux Moines
