Deep ruby in colour, with juicy acidity that balances out the abundant sandalwood and cedar oak notes, although this is ever so slightly drying on the finish. Bitter chocolate, pencil lead, crushed rocks, black cherries, has impact and is hard to argue with, but expect a broad-shouldered wine even at 22 years old. The firm tannic architecture is still in full swing, and this has a good few decades ahead of it. First vintage for technical director Rémy Monribot. 100% new oak, Michel Rolland consultant.
