Deep ruby, with medium intensity, developing aromas of violet, plum, blackberry, tobacco, wood, pencil shavings, vanilla and Nutmeg. This line has medium plus body and tannins with medium acidity and high alcohol. This wine has medium plus intensity, flavors of plum, blackberry, violets, tobacco, tar, nutmeg, chocolate, wood and pencil shavings. This wine has a very long finish and is an outstanding wine and should be drunk now until 2050.

onsumed over two days. Very pure berry nose, perfumed with violet followed by mountain herbs, some minty notes. The palate is still very taught with tannins at the forefront. With some coaxing some chalky and loamy cassis and currant come through, followed by coco nib, tar, dry tea leaves. Very pointless to drink now. Will clearly improve however the weakness of the vintage shows.

There is a gravity of flavor that does not quit. The dark, juicy fruits are lush, long and sexy. The nose grabs you with its array of truffles, flowers and various dark red fruits. But it's when you return to the lusciously textured fruit on the palate that you say wow, take another sniff and sip and know this is rockin'!

More Clay soil than Petrus. Terroir Elegant. Cabnernet franc & Merlot. Feminine version of Petrus.
