Product Description
DR94 "Charles Van Canneyt frequently produces one of the best renditions of this storied grand cru, and his 2016 is no exception. A complex and exotic bouquet of smoked meat, black tea, spice and black fruit precedes a full-bodied, rich wine with excellent depth and dimension, good sap, and a taut but fine-grained chassis of tannin which I expect to flesh out further by the time it finishes its élevage." WK for DR Oct 2017
Allen Meadows for BurgHound writes "Reduction and wood makes an evaluation of the nose difficult and I would again strongly recommend decanting this first. There is both good density and punch to the vibrant big-bodied flavors that offer fine power but not at the expense of a certain level of refinement on the youthfully austere finale. A classically styled and built to age example." 93 Pts Published: Jan 2019
