There is good density to the full-bodied and intensely mineral-driven flavors that flash good muscle and power of the grippy and slightly drying finish

The palate is fresh on the entry with slightly coarse tannin, mulberry, red plum and Seville orange marmalade here, moderate depth with just a slightly abrupt, muscular finish. It has aged better than Les Asteries and I would be inclined to drink this over the next 5 7 years.
