Deep, compact and quite masculine. It is still tight but offers up more after a sufficient decant, but it does still need more time. The nose is intoxicating as dark fruit and florals waft from the glass with minimal reduction. Structured palate with a weightless density and intensity and focused acidity. Both black and red fruit, red flowers and Chambolle minerals. Finishes with very good length and assertive tension.
