Deep, generous flavours with lovely aromatics that are seductive and layered. Nutmeg, spices along with dark cherries, blackberries and firm, ripe tannins. Balanced, layered and fairly long.

Deep and almost brooding on the nose, this is a youthful expression of the 2011 vintage. With ample notes of black cherry, damson plum, tar, spice and toast, its nose is reminiscent of a Gevrey-Chambertin while its dense palate and grippy but polished tannins reflect a Pommard style. While drinking well now, it could still benefit from future cellaring.
