Decanted ninety minutes. Youthful dark color. Notes of plum, iodine, black currants, sage, cedar and graphite. Medium-bodied. While good, the palate is a bit of a disappointment compared to the bouquet. Flavors of plum, currant, mulberry and iron. There’s more than enough fruit for the oak and tannin. Now through 2030. 90-91 pts.

Formidable ! Quelle ampleur ! L'élevage est parfaitement intégré et donne une complexité et une longueur incomparable. On reste pensif de longues minutes après chaque gorgée.
