Shimmering jet-plum velvet in appearance, with a tight, firm pink rim, this has an extraordinary nose, a blend of fresh fruit, warm plum compote, crushed stone and briny minerals, wild herbs and heady violet freshness. The palate echoes the aromatics presented on the nose, complex, intricate and slightly reticent in the embryonic phase. Dark fruit, with a slightly savoury edge strikes an engaging, impressive balance, a lovely Côte-Rôtie which has defied the challenges of the vintage, great terroir and old vines once again confound nature�s idiosyncrasies.
