Estimate
Offers aromas of ripe red and black cherry, sassafras and licorce, a more subdued sense of piquant nuttiness than accrued to the Chaignots, and distinct, roasted meatiness as well.
With a mix of red and blue berry fruits, earth and a very subtle touch of wood spice that complements the rich, full and sappy medium full flavors that are textured, complex and attractive, all wrapped in moderately structured finish...
Red cherry, licorice and a whiff of leather on the nose. More tightly wound than the Chaignots and more mineral in character. This is much more primary wine, with a firm tannic spine.
