The darkest red colour of all. On the nose, the wine is sharp, as if it were double-locked in its tannic coating (gangue). The enigmatic character of this wine finds its full expression in this wine, even if we detect some hints of liquorice typical of La Tache. Great potential, reserved, its length and thickness on the palate announce interesting developments ... if you are patient enough to wait!
