Powerful tannins, intense colour, with well textured damson and black cherry fruit, alongside the cocoa bean, espresso and spice of the vintage, tempered by savoury notes of cherry pit and mint. This is well executed, with carefully extracted muscular tannins. 40% new oak, 40% one year barrels, 2% amphora and 18% cement vats. Gérard Jicquel owner since 2019, the estate now has a new winery. An excellent wine, one to look out for.
