Product Details

Product Description

Prior to the 2022 vintage, this wine was classed as Premier Grand Cru Classe A. Critic tasting note: "This showed a brown sugar color with vague hints of red and brick poking through. The longer the wine remained open, the darker the color got. By the end of the lunch, the wine was a completely different shade. As Spock would say, &quot;Fascinating.&quot; Incredible scents of licorice, earth, truffles, herbs, soy, kirsch, black cherry, root beer and fresh coffee wafted from the glass in a continuos stream of perfume. In the mouth, your palate was drenched with very concentrated, dense, blackberry, coffee, black fruit and cola notes. The viscous texture with the silky patina of age was a treat I will not forget. The finish, texture and flavor continued opening and improving in the glass during the two hours we spent with the wine. It reminded me of the 21 Cheval Blanc. 97 Points" - <i>97/100</i>, <i>Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider</i>
