PALATE: Tamed potency in the mouth. Black fruit emerge again, and a slight hint of good French oak, with cedar and bitter liquorice stick. One?s gums get impregnated with polished tannins, amiable and intense.
Very enveloping and warm, alcoholic and fruity.
A great wine, with plenty of character and personality. Violets and very ripe grapes. Mulberry appears, and then a long-lasting memory of minerals.
Once again, a very original wine, a chance product of the land and the cellarmaster?s knowledge.
