Tasting Notes

**Note: a very large 6.03 ha monopole**
There is enough wood character to notice but not so much as to suppress the elegant and airy aromas of essence of red currant, plum, violet and sauvage nuances. The palate impression displays plenty of minerality on the muscular, detailed and energetic middle weight plus flavors that culminate in a saline, balanced and lingering finish where a touch of mocha surfaces. This moderately robust effort isn't especially complex at present but the underlying material is sufficiently impressive that my score offers the benefit of the doubt that more will develop with 12 to 15 years of cellaring.
