Much deeper ruby though by no means dark. This is aromatically quite ripe and quite expressive with plenty of Vosne-style spice and pungent iron and earth aromas. The big, powerful and intense flavors are extremely rich sappy and firm with outstanding length. It's interesting that such a rich wine could be so fresh and the chewy finish is not only long but actually racy plus there is such good balance that this will be capable of 20 years of life. Drink 2014+.

(the yield here was just 24 hectoliters per hectare, according to Rouget) Good full red. Pure, tangy, cool aromas of raspberry, licorice and spice. Sweet, pure and lively in the mouth; shows more flesh and much better extraction than the foregoing samples. Finishes with sweet tannins and very good length.
