Tasting notes
Good bright, deep red. Black raspberry, maraschino cherry and a whiff of meat on the compelling nose. Thick, tactile and utterly smooth on the palate, but with real energy and mineral lift to the flavors of dark fruits, mint and wild herbs. Finishes with serious tannic clout but has the stuffing to support it. This impressively vibrant wine should reward eight to ten years of cellaring.

Reduction dominates the nose at present. There is more size and weight to the fleshier if not finer medium-bodied flavors that exude an abundance of dry extract that imparts a velvety and seductive mouth feel to the palate soaking, punchy and impressively long finish. This is quite different from the En Orveaux because while there is more volume here, there is also less refinement. A qualitative choice. Tasted: Jan 14, 2013. Drink: 2018+
