Deep ruby. Blue fruit and some vanilla on the nose. On the palate medium acid, full body, integrated chalky tannins, nice depth of fruit cherries, strawberries and tobacco. Medium finish. Drinking well but no rush may continue to improve. Doesn't disappoint, but there are better values at this price point.

Over 2 nights in Chicago (coravin first night), this bottle a gift from a friend. Several years since I have had a vineyard 29/cru.
Dark, inky red/purple color. Nose of dark/blue fruit, vanilla. Palate of dark/tart cherry, blackberry, blue fruits, cassis, black pepper. Rich and viscous through the finish. Full body and long (30 second+) finish.
A big and brooding wine, well made and moving into a good place now. Should drink at this level for a while. Wine improved over the course of the evening, would benefit from some decant. At sub $80 this wine is consistently good value
