A cool yet ripe nose reflects plenty of sauvage character on the wild dark berry, plum and freshly turned earth. There is excellent intensity to the bigger-bodied and notably more powerful flavors that are also markedly concentrated and particularly so for the vintage, all wrapped in a firm, serious and very much built-to-age finale. Impressive.
