Wide and ripe with a nice floral dimension. Supple, narrow, then it widens across the palate. Powerful yet supple with a hint of bitter-chocolate in the lingering finish.

Picked quite late, requiring lots of sorting. Medium, medium-plus colour. It’s a cherry-compote nose that’s edged with cream. After the Gevrey villages there is an obvious increase in flavour intensity. Reasonable tannin, good freshness and a long finish that shows lots of very fine red-fruit character. Very pretty today, but serious at the core.
