Tasting Notes

Deep ruby with some evolution at the rim already, thoroughly satisfying and quite complex nose. Racy and ethereal with great balance and ripe fruit. Some but not excessive acidity. Not that much tannin but a little. Really confident. Very fine on the finish - not bitter at all. Pretty subtle too.

Score: 16 - 17

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2009-2014 10 September 2009

Shows nice bright cherry and strawberry flavors, with good flesh and firm tannins. There's finesse and balance, as the finish ends on a sweet fruit note. Best from 2011 through 2020.

Score: 90

Interestingly, Prost elected to serve this last, which means after the Clos de Bèze and I must say that it did not suffer unduly despite coming after a string of grands crus. A complex, fresh and layered nose of red berry fruits, spice and earth merges gracefully into rich, full, sweet and intense red cherry-infused flavors that are vibrant and unusually powerful while wrapped in a focused, mouth coating and superbly well balanced finish brimming with dry extract. A wine that will age for a long time.

Score: 92
