Tasting Notes

An overtly floral and highly restrained nose offers up aromas of airy and cool essence of red currant, freshly turned earth, humus and forest floor scents. The intense, powerful and muscular broad-shouldered flavors possess fine mid-palate concentration thanks to the abundant level of dry extract that buffers the firm tannic spine on the austere and serious finish. In sum this chiseled and mineral-driven effort is a classically styled LSJ. Note: from 5 different parcels situated all over the appellation that total 1.17 ha
