bright, dark red robe; there’s a stylish nose to come here, carries hints of flowers, violets, a neat line of raspberry. The palate has a good, suave opening, flows along, has light “up” powder tannins that are well in place. Harmony and joli balance here: it’s pedigree wine, very joli, Burgundian, tender, pointu-accurate, precise. From 2027. 2045-47 Nov 2024
