Note: from Les Combes but in 2021, the blend includes Bressandes This too is aromatically quite cool and notably more restrained with more sauvage influence to the darker aromas of plum, black cherry and plenty of pungent earth wisps. There is excellent density to the big-bodied, powerful and tautly muscular flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also buffers the very firm tannic spine shaping the dusty, serious and sneaky long finish. This is certainly built-to-age but it's not so imposing that it couldn't reasonably be enjoyed after 5 to 7 years.
