Drink: Try from 2035+
Tasting note: (from a magnum brought by the domaine for an event in Burgundy). Exuberantly fresh and strikingly spice-suffused aromas consist mostly of various red berries, sandalwood and exotic tea. There is a palpable sense of energy to the brilliantly well-delineated, cool and restrained flavors that possess outstanding mid-palate concentration along with focused power and a strong mineral component that culminate in a driving and explosive finish. What is interesting here though is that the power is delivered with no apparent weight and the supporting tannins are wonderfully sophisticated. While there is some of the trademark youthful austerity it seems less pronounced in 2010 than in some other recent vintages. In sum this is a magnificent and perfectly balanced effort of pure silk that should age accordingly. In a word, brilliant.
