(from parcels totaling .35 ha in both Haut and Bas). This is really quite pretty with a beautifully layered nose of various wild red berries, pungent earth, underbrush, spice and plenty of sauvage notes. There is excellent intensity and verve to the big-bodied, powerful and opulent flavors that brim with an abundance of dry extract that buffers the moderately firm tannic spine on the impressively well-balanced and lingering finish. This is robust but not rustic as the tannins are relatively fine grained. (92-94)/2024+
