The wood treatment is a bit more evident though not intrusive on the aromas of cassis, warm earth and the sauvage that are also notably ripe. There is very good richness with even more volume to the sappy and muscular flavors that are rustic but complex and long. A fine Nuits villages that is also very clearly built to age. Outstanding, Top Value.
