No doubting the density of the colour here. High toned and exciting, benefits from the cooler site of en Orveaux. Redcurrant and raspberry with fine intensity and good acidity, tannins nowhere to be seen. **** 93-95 Jasper Morris MW.
Markedly spicy aromas of dark berry fruit coulis, sandalwood and exotic tea. The nicely concentrated and quite stylish flavours are at once caressing but punchy with a lovely texture on the balanced and lingering finish that flashes a touch of austerity. This too could use better depth, but more will almost certainly develop in time given the quality of the underlying material. 94 Jasper Morris MW.
