92 / 100"A distinctly, even pungently earthy and animale nose is composed of notably ripe aromas of cassis, dark berry and oak nuances. There is fine volume to the suave and relatively forward flavors that tighten up quickly on the balanced and mouth coating finish. This is certainly seductive if not as complex as one might hope for given its grand cru birthright. To be sure this is by no means a poor wine but like the Corvées it's going to have to develop a good deal more depth to merit the upper end of my range. 92 points."
