What a mighty Rougeard. Showing incredibly rich, dense and perfumed. There is a lot of extraction of fruit without feeling heavy and tannic, the oak is also well placed. Purple plums, dark cherries, and just enough green to make the cab franc presence known. Finishes quite suave and long. I'd have to taste this again with more age.

A private lunch (Restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL): Fresh and floral, spicy and meaty, cool and transparent, subtle vegetal notes, undergrowth and bright red fruit, concentrated but elegant, seamless finesse, lots of energy and tension, firm papery tannins, delightful hint of top quality oak on the finish. A class act.
