From the Vielles Vignes Corcelette series that Bouland divides by soil type. I opened it too young but patience is not a strength of mine. Nose has dark cherry fruit, so ripe and pure, and loads of crushed stone. Tightly wound on the palate for a Bojo, but nevertheless showing ridiculous depth of flavor. It’s still a bit tannic and there’s a slight astringent note in the finish, but a few more years in the cellar would have tamed those things. In fact, as it’s opening up, the depth of fruit is smothering it. Just excellent
