There is a bit of pencil lead and a slight vegetal thing along with black currant on the nose. That's OK. The palate is great! Strong acid backbone, a good width, a nice weight on the sides with a nice matter, some nice dusty, grainy tannins, a long finish with black currant some salt, some meat and a drying consequence from the nice tannins. It's young, it's lively but it's quite good out of the bottle. My only drawback is the nose, really because the palate is well done, as always with clos manou
