Tasting Notes
Vinous 89+
Good medium-deep red. Wild berries, meat, leather and mocha on the somewhat reduced nose. Rich and broad but less obviously open and sweet than the Roncieres. Blacker in fruit character, with some complicating herbal nuances but a bit less verve today than the Roncieres. This needs at least two years of patience and at the moment it appears to rely more on its tannins than on its acids for balance.

Deep ruby. Very, very, slightly jammy note on this and then utterly correct fruit with some freshness. Very lively. Full of health. And full of tannin! Still pretty severe. Wait!
