this 0.84ha slice is the immediate uphill neighbour of romanée conti.
medium intense nose of cherry, raspberry, chocolate, cherry liqueur, wood, traces of tea.
drinking it even makes more sense - high end tannins, minerality, ever long finish...
besides that firm and still youthful structure i'm missing some tension and playful charme...
may i add stephen tanzers review from 2002 here:
"Full deep red. Subtle, aromatically compelling nose of bitter cherry, raspberry, minerals and licorice, along with a distinct aspect of menthol austerity. Tightly wound, cool and backward, with the wine powerful minerality and structure currently dominating. But this uncompromisingly dry grand cru already offers compelling inner-mouth perfume and terrific persistence. A very classy wine with pronounced soil character. (94+ points)"
