A little bit of sweet talcum powder adds softness to the more leathery, rustic character on the nose, while the palate deals enough plump berry and pepper to impress. Warm and correct throughout, with a chewy, solid profile. Commendable for an ’02. Imported by Luneau USA Inc.

Toasty and rough at first, but it settles. Flavors of root beer and jammy fruit are carried on a creamy palate. Solid and round if given time, with some syrupy sweetness courtesy of the hot vintage. Imported by Luneau USA Inc.
