A magnificent wine with deep ruby/ purple color, a wonderfully sweet focus, aromatics of blue and black fruits intermixed with graphite, a hint of charcoal, and some earth and subtle Provencal herbs, the wine is full-bodied and has great depth, richness, power, and stature. There is plenty of tannin to shed, but it is well-integrated, and there is more than enough concentration and fruit to balance out the wine’s structural profile.
