Tasting notes
Good deep red. Wild nose features berry liqueur, game and smoky oak, with a firm stony underpinning. Then surprisingly silky on entry and broad and round in the middle, offering a felicitous combination of volume and power. This shuts back down on the back end, with the wine's minerality becoming more apparent.

(from vines planted in 1919) Good red-ruby. Musky, complex aromas of black fruits, licorice, minerals and crushed stone. Minerally, pure and tightly wound, with precise blackberry and licorice flavors and a very firm back end.
A big step up in aromatic elegance and complexity and while the toast is not subtle, neither is it really intrusive though it continues onto the punchy, powerful and rugged medium full flavors that culminate in a dusty, rich, mouth coating and extremely long finish. This is distinctly sauvage in character with moderate toast, which should integrate though it wouldn't surprise if there wasn't always a residual influence, even with time in bottle.
