No deeper in colour but a greater purity and intensity along with a few white peppers. Much mores seductive and coherent fruit across the palate, fewer tannins and slightly more built on the fruit acid balance.

This ripe, accessible wine has a surprisingly deep garnet colour and a markedly aromatic ripe cherry fruit with plenty of earthy complexity. The body is lighter than one would suspect from the aromas, and there is plenty of fresh acidity, but the finish is elegant and assertive with a lingering tannic grip. This site is sunnier than many of their holdings, yet the grip and length are still eminently typical of the village.
