and quite serious medium-bodied flavors are robust, powerful and more firmly structured on the lingering and slightly heavy finish where a hint of prune does surface. This may pick up energy in time but at present, it's a bit flat." 2016+

equally ripe, rich, full and naturally sweet flavors that possess fine mid-palate sap that helps to buffer the firm, robust and mildly rustic finish that delivers moderate length. This is riper than I prefer."

culminate in a linear, persistent and balanced finish. The finale is on the austere side and while this stops short of being strict, it would be fair to say that this isn't generous at present yet the underlying material is such that it should flesh out with a few years of bottle age."

Very aromatic bouquet with berry fruit aromas. This is a wine with lots of character and excellent structure that will need several years to reach full expression. The Les Duresses Read More...

hazelnut and vanillin oak. Opulent, mouthfilling and seamless, with serious depth to its flavors of mirabelle, fresh peach and spices. Finishes long and aromatic, with palate-staining flavors of peach oil and spicy oak. A particularly large-scaled Batard with surprising subtlety."

BURGHOUND 95 POINTS - "(with thanks to the Phoenix Chevaliers). An intensely floral and still exceptionally fresh nose is nuanced with hints of spice Read More...
and citrus where the latter can also be found on the textured and borderline massive flavors that display absolutely no sense of heaviness on the exceptionally rich finish that drenches and stains the palate. This is a big wine yet there is a firm acid backbone that keeps everything in ideal balance and overall, it's an extremely impressive effort. While the abundant dry extract enables this, like many '05s, to drink with pleasure now, in magnum format I personally would allow for at least another 4 to 5 years of bottle age."

BURGHOUND DONT MISS 92-95 POINTS - "An expressive and actually quite elegant nose of lemon rind, spiced pear, white peach and plenty of dried floral influences. Read More...
The supple, round and imposingly scaled big-bodied flavors are impressively concentrated and while quite powerful, they are also quite seductively textured before culminating in an explosive yet impeccably well-balanced finish. This is potentially a knockout."

lemon rind suffused nose. There is excellent richness and outstanding size, weight and power to the overtly muscular flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract on the explosively long and palate staining finish. Like the Criots, this is bone dry with genuinely impeccable balance that should allow this to successfully age and improve for 10 to 12 years."
$354.99
Rich floral and fruit aromas with a toasty touch. Full-bodied and complex on the palate, this wine is enveloped with charming fleshiness. Very good ageing potential.

richer compared to the Bienvenues with an impressive abundance of mouth coating dry extract, indeed there is enough to impart a suave mouth feel to the big-bodied flavors that possess real power on the hugely long finish. Even by the typical out-sized standards of the typical Bâtard, this is a big but balanced effort that should reward up to a decade of cellar time." 2018+

notes that are framed by a soft application of wood. The generous and extremely rich, full-bodied and impressively powerful flavors are certainly opulent but not ponderous, indeed the saline finish remains admirably focused and altogether well-balanced on the seriously persistent, dry and clean backend."

and the bottom for a velvety, complex and lushly endowed Burgundian Pinot Noir with great staying power. Aromas remind of blackberries, violets and lightly toasted tobacco; the mouth is full and silky, with impressive freshness and lift, suggesting ripe cherries and more blackberries with real vibrancy and thrust. A gorgeous wine!
