Absolutely stunning. Quite the contrast to the Colombiere, as this is much more serious and structured and the Aux Cras terroir shines through. New oak is more prevalent, of course, but it’s so integrated already and doesn’t get in the way. The nose is incredibly intense and aromas of dark fruit, sweet spice and a wet rock minerality waft from the glass. While this wine is let’s say, more masculine and less sexy than the Colombiere, there is still a seductive Vosne-like perfume that’s so undeniably CLB and lures you in. The palate is powerful and is full of energy, while at the same time remaining focused and seamlessly delineated. To no surprise length is superior to the Colombiere. Totally irresistible now, but boy this will be a knockout down the road. — 10 days ago

The nose on this is spectacular... expansive, with dark complex red fruit, a rich earthy base and gorgeous floral details. The palate is dull in comparison, but still tasty, with solid plum fruit and a slightly abrupt finish. — 17 days ago

This 2005 has settled nicely into a certain genteel personality, toned down it’s earthiness, and certainly a great companion to the pan-seared salmon with shaved truffles that my daughter and I had for dinner. Pleasant and adequate. — 15 days ago

Cherry, tropical woody notes (sandalwood), strawberry compote, forest floor. Good stuff but coming in a little “warm” on the palate. Muscular and tannic though though missing some freshness. — 3 days ago

Incredibly elegant wine with all there is to please. Asian spices, flowers, dark cherries, and a touch of cinnamon. Complex and medium bodied, excellent now but no rush. — a month ago

We love the style. Purity of fruit, transparency, classicism, not overdone. Black fruits, spices, some of the rusticity of Nuits, medium bodied, ends on an elegant register. Fantastic with food. Great QPR. — 13 days ago
