Tasting notes
Good bright, dark red. Pure aromas of rose petal and exotic Middle Eastern spices. Juicy and on the cool side, showing a distinctly incisive character and excellent lift to the perfumed red berry and mineral flavors. Still quite tightly wound and restrained. The impression of tactile minerality carries through to the aromatic, long finish.

Readable and juicy. Relatively relaxed. Solid concentrated Nuits fruit. Grainy texture. (JR)
Good full medium red. Strawberry, minerals and gunflint on the nose. Extremely suave for the vintage, and fuller than usual for this cuvee, offering sweet but crunchy flavors of cranberry and riper red berries. Hints of pepper and herbs throughout contribute to the impression of intensity. Finishes with a serious tannic spine and palate-saturating persistence. At once solid and classy.
