"Outstanding.While not dominant, there is enough post-bottling reduction to mask the underlying fruit today though I doubt that it will last. The notably finer if not necessarily denser flavors possess good detail and a suggestion of minerality that becomes progressively more apparent as the dusty and balanced finish sits on the palate. Worth checking out."

Winemaker Notes:

"Clos Saint-Jean shows aromas and flavors of ripe yellow apple, peach, and lemon. One expects Clos Saint-Jean to be tense and high in acidity given its position on the hill, but it is often quite rich and broad instead. Aging in 30% new Burgundian pice brings notes of vanilla and toast."

Alcohol: 13.3%
