"Good deep red. Explosive, sharply delineated aromas of raspberry, minerals, mocha, tar and cola; at once supersweet and sappy. Silky on entry, then hugely concentrated and dense with extract. The flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, cherry, spices and minerals are brilliantly defined and vibrant. Like an essence of Bonnes-Mares, with the wine's firm tannins perfectly buffered by a wave of finishing fruit. Millet emphasizes that the estate's holding is in the southeastern, "more elegant" section of this grand cru, where there is reddish topsoil over decomposed limestone, not the white marl found in the northwest corner of the cru."
