Lithe black berries, hints of herbs, reticent yet at the same time involving. Here’s another rather mineral wine but with more structure – fine grained tannin with a hint of astringency. A good line of flavour into the finish – Yum!

Again the nose is a little tight but it is both darker and deeper than the Corbeaux – slowly a warm core of fruit develops. Mouth-filling structure again forms something of veil between you and the flavours – which is released the moment you swallow – serious wine!
