"[From 40+ year old vines planted in shallow, high clay content soil sitting on a bed of solid rock.] A perfectly ripe, expressive and wonderfully fresh nose of deeply pitched cherry, spice and violet aromas that are more elegant still as they announce rich, full, sweet and velvety mouth coating flavors that offer outstanding detail and superb depth of material on the strikingly long finish. There is a gorgeously appealing sense of harmony here with really lovely transparency. A great Santenots but note that this will require extended cellar time."
