Opened and paired with grilled carne asada chicken, macaroni, and mixed berry salad. Inky purple color with a violet hue. The nose brings purple lavender, grape menthol, tar, wood smoke, raspberry pie, and baking splices. The palate is medium, square, juicy, and compact, bringing a hard core of black, purple, and red fruit encased in a meat pie with olives, mushrooms, and hints of green onion. Overall, still shy and tannic with little fruit delineation at this stage. Drink 2025-2035. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 90.

Nose - plum, blueberry, tutti bosco. Ripe fruit dark spectrum but very fresh Mouth - delicious, juicy, plums, dark cherries, mouthwatering with minerality and tannins , all there if not yet quite integrated. The underlying material is evident. Voluptuous and a (cheap) thrill.

The stuffing is all there, just tightly wound right now. To lay down for at least two years.

Un vin puissant, un peu monolithique, équilibré par une bonne acidité mais fortement réduit, même plusieurs heures après ouverture. Attendre 2-3 ans.
