“A rich and subtle nose blending notes of blackberry and elderberry; balanced and precise, true to its vintage with freshness and body, it avoids the excessive extraction and overripeness found in many of its peers. Very charming.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines)

About the wine:

With a medicinal note, this wine shows great potential. For now, it is firm, dry, and deeply tannic. Its body holds promise, suggesting rich fruitiness in the future. Impressive and concentrated.

This is a lively, rich wine with beautifully silky tannins and notes of chalk, dark chocolate, and blackberry. Full-bodied and juicy.
