Bright medium red. Complex, alluring perfume of red cherry, spices and flowers. Silky, concentrated and seamless, with dense, dark flavors of black raspberry, blackberry, violet and minerals showing impressive medicinal reserve. There's an almost chocolatey ripeness but the wine does not come across as especially sweet. Firm and rocky but not dry on the finish. When I mentioned to Laurent Lignier that I frequently prefer this well-placed premier cru to his Charmes-Chambertin, he noted that he often refers to this wine as his Combottes-Chambertin.
