Superb, in an extremely old school way that is damn near extinct. Dark, licorice scented, tannic, gamey, powerful, but with a core of sweet fruit and a floral character that comes out with air. Just a hint of stem at this point; nicely integrated. The oak is fully digested, too. A big bad burgundy the way they used to make ‘em.

Typical Burgundy in nose and palate, strawnerries, forrest ground, leather, good acidity, finegrained tannins but dominated from the barrique,not really balanced, long finish 92-93
