This is a bit more fragrant and linear than the even better 2019! Has lifted aromas of chalk infused flowers, plums, mulberries and cherries. Its medium bodied linear chalky minerally blue and red fruits palate has excellent depth, light oak, nice freshness and good length with nice tannin. 13.5%. Excellent value at 7E 99. Lay down 5-10 years easily. A tasty wine with Cassoulet/Confit/Magret de Canard/Axoa and Ossau Iraty.

rich dark body with aromas of velvet and spice, soft but structured with slight greenish finish that wraps itself and smoothes out with a little time
