(91-94 points) Subtle wood influence easily allows the ripe and very earthy cassis, spice and black raspberry aromas to be appreciated. The rich, full-bodied and enveloping middle weight plus flavors possess a suave yet tautly muscular mouth feel though the typical Corton-like tannins arrive just at the very end of the exceptionally persistent if ever-so-slightly warm finish. This robust effort is built-to-age and is going to need at least 5-ish years first.
