The nose is quite stunning. Explodes with Dujac whole cluster spice, violets, and dark fruit. Palate needs some time to catch up, as it’s a bit austere, reduced and not overly persistent. But it’s clear the stuffing is there. 2013’s, however, both Combottes and Charmes at this point in time, I’d say are more integrated between aromas and palate and are more expressive overall. 12’s, although eventually the better vintage, seem to still require a bit more patience to reap the benefits.

Beautiful wine that still needs more time showing dark cherry, berry fruit, spice, crushed rock & violet.

Quite firm that still needs time showing a perfumed nose of dark cherry, raspberry, earth, crushed rock, spice with floral notes.
