"Wonderfully complex aromas of ripe black fruit, crushed herbs and berries with an unmistakable earthy character. Medium bodied yet powerful, concentrated though not overtly tannic with plenty of underlying material and buckets of sappy extract. Despite all the extract, this finishes with a distinct note of austerity. Undeniably of grand cru quality and regal in its subtle intensity and fine, sneaky length. Simply fabulous Rugiens."
