Tasting notes
(75% new oak): Good dark red. Ripe, vibrant nose offers kirsch, redcurrant, cedar and a whiff of black pepper. At once silky-sweet and tangy, with lovely inner-mouth energy to the fine-grained red and darker fruit flavors. Notes of violet and minerals emerge with air. Finishes broad, lively and long, with harmonious acidity and ripe tannins giving the wine solid structure for aging. More refined than the 2011 version.

Ruby-red. Sexy oak spices lift the aromas of black cherry, blueberry, minerals and violet. Dense, sweet and vibrant; an explosion of violet in the mouth. Wonderfully juicy, long wine with suave tannins and terrific lingering perfume. Finishes with a note of bitter chocolate. A beautiful premier cru in the making.
