Estimate
...brooding aromatic profile of liqueur-like red and black fruit, underbrush, game and earth that are also trimmed in just enough wood to merit remarking upon. There is excellent richness to the powerfully bodied and tautly muscled flavors...
The palate is very well balanced with a spicy, white pepper-infused opening. The exerts good grip in the mouth, very chalky in texture with impressive depth and focus on the finish. This is excellent.
Very ripe raspberry and chocolate aromas are accented by licorice and mint. Conveys more mineral energy than the Faconnières, as well as excellent density to its dark berry flavors.
