Rich blackcurrant, cedar and fine spices on the nose. Accents of leather and sweet tobacco. Medium bodied, fresh and elegant on the palate with great persistence. Hold.

App: medium ruby Nose: medium plus intensity; aromas of cassis, mint, smoke, violet, red rose petal, cinnamon, caramel, milk chocolate, new leather, vanilla. It’s developing. Palate: dry, high acidity, medium plus tannins, high alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus to pronounced flavour intensity, cassis, chocolate, long finish. Opened this bottle after two pours from Coravin. Still fresh and vibrant, seemingly more elegant. Perfect balance with acidity and fruit, alcohol is tamed as well. Lingering finish. So charming for a chilly autumn afternoon!

Domaine visit. From MAG, decanted. Elegant, with soft tannins, good but a bit too light on the mid palate for a higher score.
