This is exceptionally poised, with a luminous ruby hue and wonderful purity through the glass. The wine opens with lifted aromas of crushed red cherry, ripe raspberry, and a delicate floral perfume of violet and rose. On the palate, it shows real drive and clarity with silky tannins framing juicy fruit and savoury undertones of dried herbs and gentle spice. There's an impressive sense of structure beneath the finesse, while a touch of earth and mineral tension gives the wine depth and authenticity. A standout vintage from this celebrated cru.
