Product Description
JS97 "Pitch-perfect ripeness on the nose with an air of crushed violets and sappy cherries. Whole cluster used here and very low yields. Very youthful and vibrant. An elegant, fresh cherry and cherry pastry-flavored palate with linear shape. Sleek, powerful style here. Finishes very fresh and vibrant. Give this some time. It has 20+ years and it will age superbly. Try from 2022." JS Jan 2018
BH96 "Once again this is distinctly restrained in style with its cool and attractively refined nose that features a broad mix of super-spicy and floral-inflected aromas that include violet, plum and black raspberry. There is ample minerality and dry extract to the full-bodied and solidly powerful flavors that possess that wonderful sense of underlying tension that carries over to the rich and mouth coating finish. This positively gorgeous effort is crafted in a very firm but not hard package that like all of these grands crus, will require extended patience if you wish to see it at its apogee."
