(aging in a single new 300-liter barrel): Iodine, spices and smoky oak on the nose, with a peach quality emerging with air. Dense, sweet and broad, with sexy minerality and musky smokiness. Large-scaled but not heavy. Lower in pitch than the Chevalier and not quite as long on the dry, firm finish. But this is much harder to taste today owing to the strong oak element.
