Good, deep, vibrant color.

Lovely fruit purity on the nose, with some of that vegetal,chicory-like firmness to the black fruit and a sappy feeling of freshness with modest oak influence.

On the palate the tannins are more refined than in Preuillac, a smaller grain to the tannins and more silky texture.

The svelte black fruit is still keen and quite lean and muscular, but there is a lovely sense of burgeoning blackcurrant sweetness.

Good acidity, a bit of spice and charry character building on the finish, and already tasting quite delicious.
