This is an excellent example of 'power without weight' and a wine that should repay up to a decade of keeping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!-- Critic Review 2 --\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy):\u003c\/strong\u003e No new wood. The last year of the old destemmer. Not very deep in colour. The cherry fruit is most appealing, without the greater density of some vintages. But there may be a finesse missing in the 2017. Floral notes as well, some acidity, and a little pepperiness. Very attractive for the medium term, will hold thereafter but not necessarily gain. Drink from 2026-2032.
