It has a very classical profile

but it should be well worth the wait as this is most impressive

plenty of black fruit laced with tar and black pepper

Michele et Patrice Rion, Bonnes Mares other_regions_italy It has a very classical(from a small parcel that makes on average one barrel annually; 100% new wood). A brooding and restrained nose of notably cool red currant, earth and ferrous earth aromas are in keeping with the equally serious and tightly wound flavors that possess a sleek muscularity on the dense and superbly long finish. The supporting tannins are firm but clearly phenolically mature and this should repay 12 to 15 years of aging. (92 94) 2021+
