(half old vines and the other half from vines replanted in 2000): Dark red-ruby. Utterly distinctive, complex nose offers scents of dark raspberry, game, mocha, underbrush and dried flowers. At once silky and penetrating, with terrific acidity nicely buffered by the wine's tactile minerality. As much red fruits as black in the mouth, in the style of the vintage's more exhilarating examples. Complicated by notes of pepper and chocolate and lifted on the back end by a whiff of orange zest. The tannins are wonderfully suave. A beauty in the making, with the young-vines fruit (which were used to make a Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru through 2011 before being blended into this wine) giving it a juicy quality that it might otherwise have lacked.
