Parker Review:
Pale ruby colour with a faint purple hue. Savoury / earthy aromas to begin with notes of game, underbrush, tree bark and humus plus some red cherry and violets emerging with coaxing. Crisp acidity and a medium level of silky tannins on the palate. Theres a good amount of fruit encasing the structure. Long finish.

Tanzer Review:
Saturated red-ruby color. Pure, vibrant nose features smoky black cherry. Rich, sweet and pure, with superb energy to the flavors of black and red cherry and minerals. Impressively dense, broad wine, finishing with excellent lingering perfume and solid spine for aging.

Other Notes:
Here the nose is understandably quite similar to the nose of the Fourche with an earthy and moderately sauvage nose of dark berry fruit, underbrush and a hint of stone that is picked up by the rich, sweet and intense yet stylish medium full flavors that are unusually pure for a typical Nuits while wrapped in a finish supported by quite firm, dusty and mouth coating tannins. This possesses really fine depth and the firm structure is sufficiently buried that the finish appears less structured than it really is.
