Polished and refined, showing uncommon grace for the estate. Dark cherry and crushed violets build with mineral precision. The palate flows with silky fruit concentration, supported by ripe, integrated tannins that never intrude. A departure from Le Vieux Donjon's typically earthy style. This drinks beautifully now.
