Here the deft wood treatment is almost perfectly integrated because even though it's not invisible, it should be soon as the riper, pure and refined upper register red fruit and mineral notes are allowed free rein to shine. The rich, generous and precise medium weight flavors are harmonious and vibrant if not quite as complex as those of the Combe d'Orveau yet they're slightly longer. A choice.

CS Little more jammy sweetness on the nose than Les Damodes. Delicate floral black fruit. Exotically aromatic and inviting. Then great power and depth. Freshly perfumed on the mid palate. Fine long firm finish. Power-dressed elegance. (JH)
