Very fresh, complex aromas of flower blossom, fresh herbs, linden tea and smoky, toasty oak. Thick on entry, but given clarity and brightness by firm acidity. More powerful and less subtle than the Cabotte, and not yet as expressive. Structured for long aging, and still rather tightly wound on the long finish.
