full red robe; the bouquet takes a savoury, beef stock route, is close-knit, the fruit dark. The palate is well composed of black berry content with linger in the rather fresh tannins, gathers notes of herbes de Provence, a still grainy feel to the tannins. It’s well placed to evolve naturally, carried by its clarity and sensible depth of content. The finish is lucid, a spot of tingle there.
