Nez sur les fruits noirs, mûre et bleuet, à peine floral, plutôt terreux. Bouche sur les fruits rouges: cerise, cassis, enrobée de muscade, cuir, réglisse et thym; structure dense construite sur des tannins fermes, et longue finale fraîche et juteuse marqué d’une belle acidité. Jeune, mais déjà accessible. Un vin d’une remarquable constance, millésime après millésime. Élevé avec élégance, rigueur et tradition.
Decided to pop open a young one. Decanted 30 mins before this note.
Medium to deep ruby in appearence.
Youthful nose that needed a bit of coaxing. Plenty of black fruits, baking spice and even some violets.
Medium plus in body with lots of structure, acidity and flavor concentration. Forget about this for the next 8-10 years and then drink for another 10 plus.
