Elegant while being rich, this is a ripe but structured wine. It shows great berry fruits, firm and dry tannins, all coming together in a tight, complex texture. The flavors, with spice and wood joining the fresh acidity, are melding together well, the final flavors giving rich fruit and vivid freshness together.

An elegant grand cru whose tannic structure is just beginning to resolve. Has a nose of berry aromas, earthy accents and even meaty notes. The palate displays developed ripe cassis and earth flavors. Still youthful, it drinks well, but should evolve further over the next few years.
