Note: from vines first planted in 1902 Like the Combe d'Orveau the nose is super-spicy but it's also earthier with its broad-ranging nose of red and blue pinot fruit, earth and a lovely floral hint. There is excellent volume and obvious power to the punchy medium weight plus flavors that also possess seemingly endless reserves of dry extract, all wrapped in a driving, energetic and mouth coating finale. I very much like the balance here and this too should age effortlessly yet be approachable after only 5 to 7 years. Sweet spot Outstanding. Drink:2027+
