"Saturated ruby-red. Very pure, complex aromas of raspberry, cherry and gunflint, plus a hint of exotic fruits. Rich, dense and sweet; combines unusual volume, a large structure and noteworthy class. Powerful finish features a taste of bitter chocolate. The yield here was around 44 hectoliters per hectare, says Potel, as it is every year in this rocky parcel."
