"(Laurent's [own] vinification, using 70% whole clusters; these 50-year-old vines were planted by Sylvie Esmonin's grandfather): Good full medium red. Explosive, wild aromas of candied red fruits and game, with a smoky complexity. Silky, perfumed and classy, with red fruit flavors complicated by coffee and dried flowers. Finishes very long, with fine-grained tannins. More about aromatic perfume than power."
