The nose is complex and entices with its garrigue character and aromas of blackberry, blueberry and graphite. The palate is exceptionally elegant, yet precise with plummy fruit, redcurrant, very fine grained tannins and a certain nervosité on the mid-palate, suggesting significant ageing potential. The finish is delicate, yet offers length and finesse of fruit.
