Medium red. Deeper-pitched on the nose than the Beaumonts, offering scents of redcurrant, tobacco, smoky minerals and sweet oak. Silky, round and seamless on the palate, with good minerality framing the redcurrant, spice and earth flavors. The subtle mounting finish features firm, slightly edgy tannins for this cuvee in the early going.
