Sandalwood, pencil shavings, dark cherries, toasty, and burdock root. Initially split between VR or NSG. Structure and minerality gave way to NSG. Opened up a bit but rather linear. Very interesting contrast to the Vosne Romanee Les Chaumes 2014 I recently tried. At least to me, this had the signature CLB characteristic nose, without betraying the terroir. The Les Chaumes had a more floral and pretty nose, but less structure versus the Aux Cras. The two plots are roughly 250 meters apart. That's terroir for you.
