"Deep nose of damson plum and ripest blackberry with subtle savory, soy-sauce and wild-herb notes. Very powerful and expansive palate with a major tannin structure that gives this a lot of drive and energy. Long, concentrated finish with impressive freshness for this appellation."

"Dark garnet color. Smoke- and spiced-tinged dark fruit, floral and garrigue aromas pick up a peppery element with air. Offers deep blackberry, kirsch, candied lavender, baking spice flavors and a touch of licorice. Finishes impressively long and spicy, with chewy tannins coming in late. This is still quite youthful and deserves some patience, or at the very least, decanting."
