Colour: Pure, deep and vivid purple Nose: Still a little primary. Lots of fruit. The fruit comes up slowly on the nose as the blend is very fresh and just a little shaken up. Palate: Finesse. Spice. The pepper comes from the Petit Verdot. Tannins are long and still granular, very deeply imbedded and firm but not aggressive or harsh. The wine is very sapid. It is “sur le fruit” at the moment. The fruit here is in the heart of the wine and not on the surface. A deep wine, a structured wine, a long wine.
