Gorgeous old school nose. Red berry, fresh moss, loads of granite and loads of minerals as is expected at this address as this is such a mineral driven estate. Palate is complex, concentrated and so juicy. Juicy and dense with thick fresh fruit and such terrific dry extract fruit that clings on your palate on the long, granite driven finish. Elegant and full of character. Lovely ripe and granite infused tannins. Great wine.

Poured a glass for lunch, tight, put the rest back in the cellar for dinner. Glorious. Gorgeous aromatics, smells like a flower bouquet at a boucherie. Perfect combo of sappy dark fruit, savory olive/iron, granite/mineral. With air, much more pliable in the mouth, sexy, delicately detailed, very very fine. Shows impressive purity and a skilled touch in the cellar. Love.
