Very savoury nose of sage, chestnut, pine needle sap and freshly tilled earth. As you work a bit of air into the wine there's a most pleasant scent of violets. It is meaty in the mouth and has vinous sweetness and the grip that we associate with 'old school' Faiveley.

Medium ruby/garnet core, wide mahogany rim. Medium intense, developed nose of strawberry and spice. Some sous bois, overall a pleasant, pretty nose. However the palate is disappointing. It has pleasant enough, light/medium intensity spicy strawberry flavours but lacks acidity and what tannins it has are a little coarse. A bit like drinking dilute fruit juice. May have been reasonable a couple of years ago but distinctly long in the tooth now.

Great body and finish. Still has youth and tannins. Nice balance.
