This is the most Burgundian style of the lineup showing ripe, forward dark red fruit and slight reduction in the nose. For this, a few minutes in a decanter will make this wine shine in its youth. Slight herbal notes grace the nose and help make this a truly fine and complex wine. Long, tense and showing good precision in the mouth, this wine will benefit from aging like most fine wines.
