Crushed slate and graphite dominate the nose, with dark plum and garrigue herbs emerging slowly behind. The palate is all savory tension. Taut, mineral-driven, with fine-grained tannins that need time to unfurl. Lavender and dried herb notes thread through the long finish. Built for the cellar, this needs five years minimum to show its true form.
