In contrast to the expressiveness displayed by many wines in the range, this is sufficiently reduced as to mask all but subtle spice nuances. More interesting are the notably finer if less concentrated middleweight flavors that exhibit both good vibrancy and focused power on the firm, youthfully austere, dusty and compact finish. This is presently much like the Vosne-Romanée "Les Beaux Monts" in that it is borderline strict so extended keeping will be necessary here as well.
