A classic Renardes nose is both complex and overtly sauvage as it only grudgingly offers up notes of relatively elegant red and black pinot fruit along with plenty of earth nuances. There is fine intensity to the muscular yet round and generously proportion flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the velvety finish. This really builds from the mid-palate and delivers excellent length though note well that this very serious effort will need at least a decade in the cellar to be at its best.
