Tasting notes
(from Les Blanchards and Clos Baulé; just one new 400-liter barrel produced): Full dark red. Very ripe aromas of strawberry, brown spices and mocha lifted by a note of peppermint. Juicy, spicy and rather elegantly styled, showing a restrained sweetness to its fairly generous red fruit and spice flavors. Finishes solidly tannic and persistent, with the structure to evolve gracefully in bottle.

(from two tiny parcels in Blanchards and Clos Baulet, the grapes from which are vinified together). The wood regimen is much more obvious on the slightly sauvage-inflected nose of both red and dark currant aromas. There is once again good volume and richness to the solidly concentrated flavors that coat the mouth on the rustic, serious and moderately tannic finale. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
