Bright red-ruby. Floral, perfumed aromas of blood orange and cocoa powder. Large-scaled and sweet, but a bit obvious after the Clos de Beze. This is fatter and richer than the above but ultimately less sweet. Finishes with some slightly drying (wood?) tannins and modest sweetness. From bought-in grapes.
