Tasting notes
Particularly deep crimson. Very dry and solid and ambitious if a little bit austere for the moment. Wait awhile for this one. (JR)

Good deep red. Much fruitier on the nose than the Combe aux Moines, with raspberry and strawberry aromas nicely lifted by spicy oak and exotic flowers. Then juicy, fresh and penetrating, with a tight core of red fruit and mineral flavors nicely framed by ripe acidity. With time in the glass, this showed a creamier texture and serious but sweet tannins that suggest the wines will age gracefully and slowly.
Cask sample. Attractive toasty oak, slightly reduced, dry and pretty oaky, seems to be hiding its colours. Clearly both elegant and powerful but not trying to please at the moment. Oak dominates on the finish. (JH)
