Note: from fruit in Mazoyères that is an exchange for fruit in Clos de la Roche
Smoky wood and a hint of roasted coffee can be found on the ripe and pretty red berry fruit-scented nose. The gorgeously textured if not especially dense flavors possess excellent delineation and a lovely sense of tension that carries over to the youthfully austere and linear finish that is sufficiently firm to make clear that at least a decade of keeping will be necessary.
