Dark red with ruby tones. Alluring aromas of black cherry, pungent minerals and crushed stone display a medicinal reserve. Big, rich and classic, conveying superb depth to its fresh fruit and saline mineral flavors. Shows a chocolatey ripeness but this vin de terroir is as much about soil as fruit. Wonderfully pure, precise wine with broad, dusty tannins and terrific length. Lay this one down and forget about it for at least six or seven years.
