A fine nose that suggests plummy fruit and a hot hillside. On the palate the fruit is muted but there are great notes of garrigue that are interesting and long on the finish. This really settles well and improves over several hours. It has depth, layers, dark beauty, fine tannins and lots to give. Ace.

Pnp. Medicinal red fruit to start giving way to taut, candied berries and spice. Consistent. Continues to be in an ideal phase and should be for a good while.

Deep garnet color with minimal signs of aging. This was immediately highly aromatic after opening with rich smells of blackberry, sage, thyme, and cassis. After a brief period of oxygen exposure, it evolved from slightly hard to a soft plush wine. It is still youthful but a great pleasure to drink at present.

Ripe, plummy cherry fruit. Rich and spicy, great purity. Lavender and thyme. Great expression of terroir, as always, from Charvin. Many years left.

Popped and poured - earthy and tight.
