From magnum. The 1999 “Le Grands Épinots” pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, red flowers, forest floor, some ferrous earth and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. A solid showing and I would expect the larger format helped with that. Drink now through 2029.

Sweet cherries falling slightly into the liquor realm. Raspberries & rose petals. Soft wet dark earth. Some spice and vanilla. Smooth, soft fruit framed and a long beautiful elegant finish.

2004 a bit of grass, cherry, oak on the nose. Tannin and body medium. Got a few more years.
