"From a small 0.08 ha parcel on the Chassagne side worked only by horse. A restrained but knock-out nose features highly perfumed notes of citrus fruit that includes a hint of lime, acacia blossom, spice and notably ripe white and yellow orchard fruit aromas. There is seriously impressive size and weight to the dramatically powerful, rich and concentrated big-bodied flavors that possess obvious muscle and simply fantastic length on the overtly austere, deep and palate staining finish. This is a dazzling effort that is presently not much more than a block of stone so note that plenty of patience will be required."
