Tasting Notes

Sweet spot Outstanding
A discreet application of wood sets off an appealingly spicy nose of black cherry, raspberry and, like the Chaponnières, a touch of the sauvage. There is a slightly finer mouth feel to the more overtly mineral-inflected flavors that flash ample muscle and punch on the very firmly structured, saline and austere finish. This excellent effort is also quite old school in style and I would advise not touching a bottle for at least 10 years. Drink: 2036+
