Tasting note: Good full deep red. Briary dark raspberry, blueberry, pipe tobacco and roasted herbs on the very ripe nose. Then sweet and highly concentrated in the mouth, with stony minerality giving the wild berry and fruit pit flavors almost surprising definition and lift. This has plenty of density to support its tannins. Finishes with a sappy impression of extract. (93pts. Stephen Tanzer)

Tasting note: Gorgeous aromas of pure cherry and oak spice mark this dense, elegant red. Tight and chewy, with substantial tannins, though the fruit is sweet and evokes cherry and red currant. Fine length. (90pts. BS, Wine Spectator)

Tasting note: Compared to the distinctly animale character of the Chambertin, here the nose is spicier and higher-toned but equally broad with a really lovely range of layered aromas that introduce equally rich if slightly more refined medium full-bodied flavors that display excellent detail on the driving, powerful and also gorgeously long finish that really stains the palate. While the personalities and styles are quite different, they are qualitative equals. A choice. (92-94pts. Stephen Tanzer)
