On the nose very Bordeaux like with organic earth, chalk, dried red flowers and toasted oak. Good concentration of Ripe Red and black fruits on the plate followed by herbaceous qualities and slight mineral notes. Finish was long and defined. Vintage charts say to drink now, which is correct, but this wine had more time left.
