Ripe and soft, this is a densely fruity wine. Typical of Beaune, its tannins are gently enveloped by a soft, jammy texture of plums, fresh red cherries and a touch of smokiness. Finely balanced. ——R.V.(12/31/2010)—— 88

From vines planted in 1945, this concentrated, rich, tarry, tannic wine shows great density of flavor. It also has a layer of soft, juicy red berry fruits, structured with black plum skins. The acidity at the end is a wonderful lift after this concentration.——R.V.(12/31/2008)—— 90
