Lurid ruby. Aromas of ripe red berries, candied flowers and smoky minerals take on a hint of Asian spices as the wine opens up. Sweet and pliant in the mouth, offering juicy boysenberry, raspberry and lavender flavors that become weightier with aeration. Finishes sappy and smooth, displaying excellent persistence, a lingering floral note and fine-grained tannins that build slowly.

This is the fourth harvest from owners Virginie and Grégory Barbet and they've made a fine job of it. The wine, with its rich black fruits and concentrated tannins has the structure typical of this appellation. The juicy fruits go along with tannins to give a wine that should age. Drink from late 2018.
