(91-93) Once again prominent wood stops just short of dominating the overtly spicy nose of cassis, black cherry, lavender and warm earth scents. There is excellent power and volume to the concentrated, intense and mouth coating mineral-driven flavors that culminate in an impressively long and balanced finish. This is a bigger wine than the Grèves and should amply reward mid-term cellaring.

Meaty and dense, this fresh red offers black cherry, earth and spice flavors. Shows fine balance and tension, with a latent mineral element, finishing with an accent of sweet oak. Best from 2019 through 2032. 150 cases imported.–BS
