long and delicious while remaining altogether serious

the wines are more fresh

high up in the mountains

the cedar- and mint-infused red fruit developing subtle tertiary aromas with aeration

This 2005 reveals a beautiful black cherry and cassis scented nose, with a touch of spring flowers, medium to full body, and supple tannin in a sexy, lush, heady style. A sleeper of the vintage, it is already approachable and satisfying, and can be drunk over the next 10 15 years.
