Tasting notes
Medium red. Sweet red fruits, minerals and licorice on the fresh nose; shows little sign of the heat of the year. Densely packed and concentrated but juicy and tightly wound. Finishes with dusty, broad tannins, excellent length and just a hint of roasted ripeness.

More reviews and scores
Deep red. Complex, slightly sauvage aromas of black cherry, strawberry, violet, brown spices and roasted meat. Sweet, fine-grained and nicely perfumed in the mouth; this has taken up more oak than the Champans. Richer, larger-scaled and more tannic on the back end.
