Here the cooler and brooding nose is completely and much more sauvage, indeed it’s much more classic Gevrey in character with its notes of smoked game, pungent earth and wild dark berries. The succulent but serious and muscular medium weight flavors possess solid mid-palate density and body before concluding in a powerful and lingering finale that is less rustic and austere than usual. It is however firmly structured and will definitely need at least 7 to 8 years of bottle age before it is likely to be approachable.
