Couleur intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, au fruité très mûr. Nuances de fruits noirs. Bouche à la texture et au goût minutieux, avec de l’éclat dans le fruit, même s’il est très mûr et une nuance de race dans le déroulé général. Bonne longueur.

Sporting a medium to deep purple-black color, it springs from the glass with vibrant notes of black cherries, redcurrant jelly and cassis, plus touches of lavender, fallen leaves and cinnamon stick, with a waft of black truffles. The medium-bodied palate has bright, bold black and red berry layers with a grainy texture and loads of freshness, finishing long with a spicy kick. A very impressive second wine!

Powerful and concentrated, this is just so tasty with plenty of fine grained tannins, but also the depth and width of a lovely Petit Lion. It has touches of graphite, peony and violet as it opens up and strikes the right tone between intensity and keeping the St-Julien balance. It holds the line right through the palate until those tannins become a little biting on the finish.

Bouquet mit schwarzer Johannisbeere, dunkle Kirsche und Olivenpaste, dahinter dunkles Graphit und Estragon. Am Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, feinkörnigem Extrakt, geradlinigem Köper. Im Finale mit schwarzem Bergpfeffer und dunkler Mineralik. «Ein Mini Las Cases», meint Pierre Schmunzelnd.
