Similar wood treatment with a touch of menthol is present on the red berry aromas. There is better mid-palate density to the broad-shouldered and powerful flavors that possess excellent depth and persistence on the balanced and youthfully austere finish where a hint of wood resurfaces. There is much better than average concentration in the context of what is typical for the 2017 vintage though note well that this is presently very backward.
From vines at least 80 years old right across the property, not just the principal block. The cuvée will represent about 8000 bottles. Generous rich purple, the nose offering something more sumptuous than the Classique. It starts discreetly though with a certain plumpness, then it opens out quite forcefully on the palate to much more structure behind. Then sweetly oaked, just needs an ounce more drive to it. 100% new wood.
