Concentrated, firmly built and quite suave, with harmonious acidity framing the dark berry and pepper flavors. Generous, expansive and impeccably balanced, but not longer than the Saint-Joseph. Finishes with ripe, dusty tannins. Expressive aromas of spicy dark berries, minerals and leather. Dense, concentrated, ripe and deep, expansive, sweet and quite mouthfilling.
Tannins are substantial but mellow and fine.
