From a new barrique: Peach and nut oil on the expressive nose. Wonderfully rich and concentrated, with sexy flavors of stone fruits, spicy oak and nut oil. Finishes very long and sweet. A second sample, from a once-used 350-liter barrel: More lemony citricity to go with the wine's spice character. More inner-palate energy too. There are just these two barrels of this grand cru.

Rating for France-Burgundy: 90 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>
