91-93 Barrel Score...from a large 1 ha parcel that sits just above that of Domaine de Vogue, 50% whole cluster. A highly complex nose blends a number of elements together including plenty of floral character as well as earth, spice, sandalwood along with fresh and ripe red and black currant scents. There is good muscle and intensity to the powerful and solidly well concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that possesses an abundance of old vine sap that does a fine job of buffering the very firm tannic spine. This is very promising but patience will be required. - Allen Meadows, Burghound #53
