There is even more aromatic complexity with similar and brilliant red and black fruit notes though not the spice with superbly sappy, concentrated and very pure flavors that display flat out incredible length and impeccable balance. This will join the ranks of some of the best vintages of Ponsot's Clos de la Roche, which is saying something... Burghound.com

Em magnum. Beautiful deep color. Amazing texture. Nose of crushed rose petals, kirsch liquor, subtle underbrush and charcoal. Still super young but a treat to try nonetheless

The dried ripe black cheery was very evident- very well balanced with earthy black tea and chanterelle mushroom notes, great job given the ripeness of the vintage.

2002 vintage. Very backward for an 02. Strangely the 99 more accessible tonight. Not usually the case with most Cotes de Nuits.

Took its time. Originally looked hard and haggard. Opened up fresh and pretty.

Rich earthy animal nose; mid big body; good acid tannin balance; cherries wood on the finish. Long rich finish.
