Retailer tasting (@ O in H): Ripe dark fruits, good herbs and spices, some sweetness, good acidity and soft, slightly sticky tannin. Pleasant easy going wine. Might improve a bit with a few more years of cellaring. For now 87+.

There were minerally black fruit flavors before a mixture of tart black and raspberry fruit. As the wine became redder it took on a little orange citrus, dried herbs, and more levity. The acidity was bound in. With air, notes of incensed wood and vermouth developed inside a moderate structure of very fine, dry, and spicy tannins.

Solid wine, fruity, not heavy or too oaky, a real pleasure. Start enjoying now, on the fruit.

Very black nose, incense, mine de crayon… very very ripe and sweet tannins, ripe cherries
