Good bright red. Complex, soil-inflected aromas of raspberry, espresso, minerals, smoke, flowers, mocha and roasted herbs. Silky-sweet in the way of the best examples from this outstanding premier cru, with sappy flavors of red fruits, flowers, spices and minerals. Finishes very long and sweet, with ineffable complexity. A lovely example of the cru.
