Deeply coloured, strong red Burgundy. It has a core of liqueur cherry and all sorts of sooty, smoky, stemsy things going on. There's a shot of espresso and some tart, whippy acidity on the finish. It is chewy and a little blocky but a wine of character that we enjoyed quite a bit.

This is one for the purists, earthy, savoury, minerally and detailed. There’s just a hint of Autumnal leaf action sneaking into the aromatic profile. It is bright and chiselled in the mouth with crunchy red berry fruits trimmed with freshly tilled earth. It has reasonable flesh and some liquorice flavours become apparent with air. The finish has good grip and length of flavour is admirable.

Austere but with good weight and structure on the palate. A touch of rusticity. A wine true to Lafarge style. I like it.
