(from a large 1.6 ha holding of 40+ year old vines). A mildly toasty nose reflects mostly notes of exceptionally ripe liqueur-like spiced plum, cassis, warm earth and a suggestion of sauvage character. The energetic, powerful and tautly muscular flavors possess an abundance of minerality that imparts an agreeable verve to the ever-so-austere finish that offers excellent depth and persistence. This harmonious effort could even be enjoyed young though it should also have no difficulty rewarding extended keeping.
