Discernible clearing around the rim. Impressive 'legs' on the glass. Less frontal fruit and less well-defined 'Bourgogne Nose', but more complexity and subtleness. Multiple nuances of aroma and bouquet bring out the essence of Burgundy to the nose. Smooth and delicate on the palate without being flabby for one moment.
Flavors are all elegance and class.
Only moderately concentrated and lacking somewhat in vigor and focus. Discernible but minor-keyed mature fruit with soft acidity and receding tannins. Good winyness from attack to decay with no dryness at any stage. Extremely tasty and a pleasure to sip. Fine medium long aftertaste.
