Tasting Notes

A very ripe and ultra-spicy nose reflects liqueur-like aromas of dark cherry, plum and raspberry that are once again trimmed in subtle but not invisible oak. Like several of the wines in the range the mid-palate mouthfeel is really quite seductive due to the abundant level of dry extract that only partially buffers the notably firm tannic spine shaping the dusty, powerful and very serious yet naturally sweet finish that, in much the same fashion as the Clos de Vougeot, is explosively long. This is quite youthfully austere but very promising.
