A deft application of wood sets off the markedly ripe yet still nicely fresh nose of poached plum, black cherry liqueur and warm earth. As one would reasonably expect, there is better volume and density to the more powerful medium-bodied flavors that are at once rich and caressing before terminating in a palate soaking, very firm and sneaky long finish. Lovely and a wine that should be approachable after only 5-ish years yet easily reward a decade plus of cellaring. (Drink starting 2032)
The ruby side of purple. The bouquet is between fresh plums and dark raspberries. The fruit expands beautifully on the palate, much more together than Les Chaumes, nicely integrated with the clearly present oak, and finishing with fine tannins and not too much acidity.
