Note di degustazione
Inky purple. Intense aromas of blackberry, licorice, violet and bitter chocolate, with a bright mineral overtone. Dense, sappy and vibrant, with impressive energy to its black fruit compote, licorice and violet pastille flavors. Finishes with lively acidity, insinuating spiciness and broad, youthfully chewy tannins. This is definitely built for the long haul.

Tasted in two components: #1, from a new barrique : Sexy, floral-accented black and blue fruits on the nose and palate, with notes of vanilla, cola and black olive adding complexity. Sweet, deep and surprisingly lively, finishing with strong punch. #2, from a three-year-old barrique : Bright red and dark berries and spices on the nose. Darker in profile on the palate, offering black raspberry and cherry flavors and a late note of cracked pepper. Finishes silky and long, the spicy note repeating. Burgaud uses exclusively Sirugue as his cooper, by the way: "I like the way that the oak influence is gentle when the casks are new and the wood character disappears quickly as they get older. Some barrels add new oak influence even after they've been used for a few years old but that's not my experience with these."
Scented. Respectable but just a tad dull. Pretty old-fashioned tannins on the end. A bit rustic. (JR)
