Very elegant and stylish, with the depth and structure suggestive of fine Saint-Julien. It opens with a dark, musly and mineral bouquet of cassis, blood plums and redcurrants lifted by heady scents of red and blue flowers and knit with cedar/mocha/dark chocolate oak. Supported by a fine, drying spine of firm tannin, its deep, beautifully poised core of blackberry, mulberry and cassis-like flavour extends with smoothness and polish towards a lingering savoury finish. Likely to build with time in the bottle, then age classically later on.
