As always, the wine is a delicious expression of the grape, the site and the season. A deep crimson colour, with arresting aromas and succulent dark plum and black cherry palate. The aroma and flavour purity has an abundance of complexity, colour and tannins typical of the site.
Hand-picked, 95% whole berry/5% whole bunch, 28 and 48 days on skins (for 80% and 20% of the wine respectively), matured for 16 months in French oak (36% new). Radically different to Louis. Medium-bodied with spicy/savoury notes from start to finish. Both this and Louis need time for the tannins to soften.
