Moderate wood influence sets off the much more sauvage and restrained aromas of forest floor, earth and wild red berry fruit. Once again the medium-bodied flavors possess a lovely mid-palate texture that contrasts with the firm, serious, powerful, bold and mildly rustic finale that offers very fine depth and persistence. Patience again strongly recommended.
