(16 different Beaune 1ers are combined to create a blend; it is only produced in top vintages). A very ripe nose yet still reasonably fresh nose combines notes of spice, plum, earth and a floral top note. The supple, round and seductively textured medium weight flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel that contrasts somewhat with the firm and relatively powerful finish. This could use more depth though it seems reasonably clear that the underlying material is present such that more will almost certainly develop if given a chance.
