“Pretty blueberry aromatics and earthy minerality gush from the glass. The palate has pleasantly refreshing acidity but feels slightly foursquare with rustic, gangly tannins. This will need time for its deep vein of peppery blueberry flavors to fully mesh with the structure. There are equal amounts of fruit material, structural framing and plentiful complexity, so there is no worry in putting this away several to many years. This is a monopole vineyard of this 400-year-old family domaine.”

“Once again there is an abundance of floral nuances adding elegance to the cool, pure and very pretty aromas of essence of red cherry and earth. The broad-shouldered and concentrated medium weight plus flavors possess a positively gorgeous mouthfeel while retaining very good cut on the lingering finale where a touch of bitter chocolate slowly emerges. Excellent.”
