An opulent style, featuring blackberry, plum, sandalwood, vanilla and toasty, smoky oak aromas and flavors. Powerful, complex and impressive. Reveals a slight vegetal element in the background as this winds down on the finish. Best from 2024 through 2050.
The ultra-spicy red currant, dark raspberry and violet-scented nose possesses good freshness in the context of the vintage. There is outstanding richness and mid-palate concentration to the highly seductive big-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract that imparts an opulent, indeed even borderline viscous mouthfeel before terminating in a lingering finish that is less austere than usual. Like the Chambertin this should be approachable young but I suspect in a few years this will shut down and it's hard to predict when it will reopen.
