There is good punch to the fleshy midpalate of the medium-bodied flavors that possess a slightly dusty and mildly edgy but not really austere finish that is notably shorter than it usually is

This is a lovely wine of distinction balance and harmony that is built to age over the next decade or so as the underlying material is superb

Here too there is enough sulfur to render the nose difficult to read though soft floral nuance of acacia and honeysuckle do escape the funk

Truffle and tobacco with cherries and cedar chest aromas in the nose

the latter softness

Gros Frere et Soeur, Grands Echezeaux other_regions_australia There is good punch to(from a . 3 ha parcel replanted in 1985). Somewhat surprisingly given how clean the prior wines are, this is quite firmly reduced and in need of aeration. While there is excellent intensity to the medium weight flavors the finish is at once rustic and tangy, which is to say decidedly awkward. This may recover but its not especially well balanced today though the underlying material appears to be of excellent quality.
