95 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2012

Opaque ruby.  Highly perfumed, spice-accented aromas of black raspberry, smoky minerals and potpourri.  Very young and slow to open, offering explosive red and dark fruit flavors and intense minerality, with a sexy note of candied rose.  Round, ripe and seamless, with superb finishing clarity that features seductive floral and spice nuance and only a hint of tannins.  This wine reminded me of a great Chambertin-Clos de Beze from Rousseau.
