(vinified with 10% whole clusters): Healthy dark red. Black raspberry, smoky minerality and a suggestion of roasted coffee on the nose. Plush, sweet and intense but showing more mineral grip and savory complexity than the basic village offering. Less easy...
Plush, silky and very ripe.... Much smokier than the Etelois, this plush village wine finishes with building tannins.
The palate is very well-balanced with crisp acidity, fine-boned tannin and a lovely piquancy on the finish. Utterly delightful and almost too delicious to cellar. Only 125 cases made.
