A background nuance of wood toast does not intrude on the earthy and very ripe blue and black pinot fruit aromas that exude spice hints that continue onto the extremely rich, concentrated and serious flavors blessed with ample amounts of dry extract and sleek muscle on the deep, long and palate staining finish. This is a big wine in the context of the vintage and appears extremely promising. A classic Boudots that is half Nuits and half Vosne.
