(the vines here range from 35 to 100 years of age, according to Laurent, but he doesn't indicate Vieilles Vignes on the label in the lesser years) Good deep, bright red. Reserved but nuanced nose suggests dark cherry and minerals. Densely packed and rather powerful, with a flavor of dark chocolate. Not particularly sweet or pliant today. Finishes with big, broad tannins and a trace of youthful dryness.
