11 vintage: beautiful colour w a touch of "blue" ; pure, clean and lifted cx bouquet of spice , red fruits and w a white pepper background note; terrific drive on entry. Real "vif " and Excellent mid palate weight. This looks premier Cru in every way and, indeed I was subsequently told that 2011 volumes were so small that this is almost all premier Cru fruit. Superb and this is unquestionably a domaine to follow.
