Tasting notes
Bright purple. Displays intensely perfumed dark berry, cherry pie and licorice scents, along with hints of pungent flowers, minerals and incense. Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering sappy black raspberry, violet pastille and spicecake flavors that become more energetic and taut on the back half. Plays richness off of finesse with a steady hand and finishes impressively long and sweet, with sharp detail and harmonious tannins coming in late.

A little more shadowed, denser, the nose smelling of wet slate dust, deepening into blackberries on the tongue. The tannins, still Godard-like slight and wiry, move forward on the Côte du Py, drummer boys, marching in front of their tenor fruit. Some of that slate dust on the palate, texture and flavour. Just a little peppery, like a five o’clock stubble, turning the finish into a gravelly purr. (TC)
