Smoky and evolved, with mushroom, wet leaves and fireplace ash building beautifully. The clay-limestone site shows its character through earthy minerality and surprising elegance. Tannins are refined rather than the typical youthful grip Picasses usually displays. Rich texture coats the palate with lingering smoke and forest notes. Drinking superbly now through 2029.
