This wine's nose is deep, intense and perfectly ripe as well as elegant and seamless, and it exhibits ripe, dark berry aromas and remarkably fine limestone finesse with bloody meat notes. On the palate, this is a thoroughly vital red with great finesse and intensity and all the tributes you may expect from an icon wine of the appellation.

The finish is vital, fresh, lemony, salty and highly stimulating if not mouthwatering but also stringent and tensioned, with perfect fruit ripeness and a gorgeous tannin/acidity structure. Impressive.
