...Red and black fruits, dried earth, pepper, dried spice and black olive characteristics, it’s full-bodied, beautifully textured, has flat out awesome purity and impeccable balance...

...Shows a distinctly warmer-vintage character on the nose than the La Serenne, with a pungent granitic element to go with its very ripe red berry aromas. Thick and highly concentrated in a distinctly salty style; less about primary fruit and more about stone, earth and saline minerality. Very strong on the back end, with excellent stony thrust...
Taut and rather brooding, this combines impressive structure with lively game notes and rich huckleberry, tapenade and smoky sage details...
