Note di degustazione
Bright, saturated ruby-red. Superripe nose combines dark berries, black licorice, tar and gunflint. Chewy, dense and powerful, with strong peppery character but also good sweetness of fruit. With aeration, this showed gunflint and black olive notes and an increasingly tactile texture. Considerably more tannic than the Cuvee des Coteaux, but also much richer than it appeared to be when I tasted it just after the bottling last fall.

Moderately saturated ruby-red. Very spicy, pure aromas of raw crushed blueberry and blackberry; Michel maintained that the spiciness does not come from new oak. Suppler, denser, fuller and sweeter than the Cuvee des Coteaux, but still in a distinctly solid style. Perfumed on the back end, with notes of bitter chocolate and licorice and substantial oak tannins. I'd give this bottle about six years of aging.
