Tasting note: Slightly more prominent wood and menthol elements frame the overtly floral-suffused nose of cassis, black cherry and a whiff of the sauvage. The rich, velvety and admirably concentrated big-bodied flavors possess excellent power and punch on the rustic, serious and built-to-age finish that is sneaky long. This is very much in keeping with the tendency of Les Paulands to be quite rustic young but despite this it always seems to age well and generally develops excellent complexity whilst doing so.
