Here the even riper nose is relatively similar to that of the Echézeaux but with hints of mocha and stewed plum. There is excellent concentration to the sappy big-bodied flavors that possess better verve on the markedly firm and clearly built-to-age finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. I'm not wild about the nose as it lacks a bit of freshness at present but the underlying material is really very impressive such that this may eventually harmonize.
Cask sample. 17 months in oak, 45% new. Mid crimson. Oaky spice perfectly entwined with fresh, peppery dark-red fruit. Dry, firm, compact tannins but this is absolutely gorgeous – fully structured and yet perfectly filled out with pure, elegant, dark fruit. Superb balance and length. Drink between 2022-2035.
