Note: from old vines in Murgers and Vignerondes that Gros says always give heavy millerandage
Tasting note: A deeper and much earthier nose that runs to game and underbrush as well as ripe red and dark berry fruit aromas trimmed in a bit of wood toast gives way to rich, sweet and mouth coating flavors that possess plenty of muscle and real volume on the textured and sappy finish that is impressively concentrated and wonderfully long. There is ample structure here as well though it's largely buffered by all of the mid-palate extract and I particularly like the depth. Recommended though note that this will likely require a full 10 years to resolve the underlying structure.
