(these vines are more than 60 years old) Good deep red. Lovely pure aromas of blueberry, blackberry, violet and minerals. Juicy and precise but tightly wound, with a floral element and plenty of spicy Francois Freres oak showing today. I find this quite closed, even tough today, and in need of a racking. Finishes with very good length, but this is extremely unevolved.
