This wine was sort of a revelation for me. Amazing. This is a point. Maybe a touch short and just at the beginning of it's downswing. Kalamata olive, rosemary, leather and and sweet strawberries on the nose. The leather, and strawberries are there on the palate with a dried raspberry character as well and notes of tobacco, iodine, stony soil and poivron rouge. Medium-bodied silky texture that doesn't miss a spot on the palate. Mathieu says "Great wines age slowly". Clearly, he's right. 92-94.

Great showing. Vibrant. Classic cab notes. Definitely on the shorter, shallower side but delicious and food friendly.

Winery: Earthy sous-bois; old cherries (real earth!); supple mth, swt structure; 2nd: more delicate frt flavors.
