This is a wine that I have had the pleasure of trying many times over the years as it's one that I owned. Still ruby to the edge. An absolutely killer nose of stunning complexity, ripeness yet beautiful purity is followed by exotically spicy, opulent, dense and lavishly rich flavors that possess real breed and unmistakable class. This is still youthful if no longer young with a finish that is undeniably of grand cru quality while epitomizing that wonderful quality of power without weight that the finest burgundies all possess. While this can certainly be approached now with pleasure, it has only just arrived at its apogee and as such, it should hold at this superlative level for years, perhaps even decades. Multiple, and consistent, notes save for a bottle tasted in April 2017 that was, most unfortunately, mildly corked.
