This isn’t quite as animale as the Lavaut though there is certainly a healthy dollop of this character present on the cool, pure and beautifully layered nose of earthy red currant and wild dark berries that are trimmed in a hint of exotic tea. There is a more refined texture to the tautly muscular and focused middle weight flavors that conclude in a pungently stony, balanced and wonderfully long finish that is also youthfully austere. This beauty is likewise recommended. 2022+
