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.

CdP blind tasting. Illuminating evening, while there were some nice and complex wines there were also quite a few misses. Issues revolved around either not aging well and becoming pruney, oxidative with cooked fruit aromas or just being too heavy/sweet/alcoholic. TN: Nose of farmyard and brett, complex and masculine. The palate is precise and has very good acidity, they managed the warm vintage very well here.

Popped and poured - earthy and tight.
