Bright, dark red. Expressive, wild aromas of raspberry, spices, flowers, minerals, mint, leather and meat. Lovely sweetness and breadth but almost surprisingly open-knit for young grand cru. I find both overripe and minty elements here. In fact, this fruit was picked on September 4 with close to 14% potential alcohol, noted winemaker Prost, adding that he found it light at the beginning.
