Clear and bright with a lovely cherry-red color and hints of violet. Medium-high depth of color. Lively hue around the rim with little sign of evolution. An enormously expressive wine with great aromatic intensity of small, ripe, black fruits, graphite and mineral notes from the terroir, liquorice, subtle hints of violets, woodland undergrowth. Reminiscent of autumn when the leaves fall. Hot spices like cloves and black pepper, cocoa and tobacco, all extremely well defined. A slight touch of leather at first, which disappears when left to breathe. The wood is perfectly integrated. A powerful, dense, very rich attack. It combines sensations of volume, structure and richness with a silky texture which never ends. Lively tannins, discernible but ripe and which will become more polished with time. Very, long and persistent, elegant with magnificent acidity which augurs well for great ageing. The fruit is present, and also the blue flowers. Wine Spectator 93 points
