Estimate
...Black-colored, firmly structured, showing an integrity of clean, pure and focused black and red berry character. A bit woody, the oak stands out a bit at this stage. Needs time to soften, but has a long finish.
...aromas of dark berries, minerals, bitter chocolate, mint and flowers. Dense, sweet and concentrated; atypically powerful for this cuvee but not at all overly extracted or hard. This has lovely sweetness and texture...
This is a very powerful wine if not necessarily an elegant one with plenty of Vosne spice and rugged, structured, dense and punchy flavors that display solid length.
