Tasting notes
Bright, dark red. Very ripe, musky aromas of red berries, cherry, spices, mocha and underbrush. Sappy and supple, with harmonious acidity giving shape to the seamless red fruit flavors. Quite suave and rich but not at all thick or heavy. Finishes with very fine tannins and superb length and lift. Owner Patrick Landanger told me that he has pulled out 40% of the old virused vines in this vineyard since the 2009 harvest, as they were yielding very little crop.

Good bright red. Perfumed nose offers blackberry, licorice and violet. Sweet, lively and intense, with flavors of wild berries, game and silex framed and lifted by fruity, peppery acidity. Finishes very long and brisk, with terrific fruit and very suave tannins. Classy juice.
Considerably sharpness and acidity initially and then polished black cherry flavours. Far from subtle. Chewy finish. Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com
