Dark ruby pour. Nose is modest with red fruit and a little alcohol. Dry and nicely balanced on the palate, with baking spices and warm earth. Long saline finish. Elegant, pure expression of terroir without interference from oak. Great bottle. For a little more $ I’d opt for Les Rugiens from same domaine - just a bit more complex and sturdy, but both are superb.

Opened , but not decanted. Lots of earth, rocks, tea on the nose. Raspberries, cherries and pomegranate on the palate. Very food friendly. Good acidity but good balance on the palate and finish.
