In each vintage this wine seems to have either more of a Vosne or a Nuits personality and in 2009, it borrows more from the Vosne side with its expressive nose of highly spiced yet intensely earthy nose of notably ripe blue and black pinot fruit. The powerful and tautly muscular medium-bodied flavors are blessed with ample amounts of sap that buffer well the moderately firm tannic spine, all wrapped in a youthfully austere, explosive and wonderfully long finish. This beauty should amply reward up to a decade of cellar time.
