Tasting notes
Good deep red. Unusually closed and less exotic than usual on the nose for this cuvee, hinting at crushed raspberry and Oriental spices, with notes of leather, mocha and minerals emerging with air. Concentrated and sweet, boasting a wonderfully sappy core of raspberry and mineral flavors. The very supple tannins arrive quite late and spread out to dust the palate. The superb rising finish perfumes the mouth. A beauty, but hands off for at least five or six years.

Very rich and juicy. Cool finish. A little lacking fruit in the middle. Bit dry. Very vibrant. (JR)
(just 28 hectoliters per hectare produced, owing largely to millerandage ): Vibrant nose offers black raspberry, minerals and bitter chocolate. At once creamy and sappy, with terrific juicy concentration to the black raspberry, violet and licorice flavors. A note of pepper lifts the fruit and carries through the very long, sweet finish. This cuvee is rarely tough in the early going.
