21 Apr 2014: Medium ruby. Game, sous-bois, liquorice underneath the ripe fruit notes of prune and plum, edging towards the sauvage! Fleshy and weighty on the palate, voluptuous almost, still holding out a firm structure of fine silky tannin, succulent juice and lively acidity, lending freshness to the otherwise muscular, slightly austere and mineral character of the wine. A serious wine, but a scrumptious one, to be enjoyed and meditated upon...over a long time! Just coming into its drinking window now......and over next 10 - 15+ years. Could this climat be a grand cru? I would think a very strong candidate, based on this bottle! 18/20
