Tasting note: An overtly sauvage-inflected nose reveals notes of cool earth, plum, floral and underbrush along with forest floor hints. The muscular, round and denser medium-bodied flavors possess excellent punch and power before delivering fine length on the austere and serious finish. As is usually the case with this wine, it's going to need at least moderate patience.
