Not gentle but exceptionally concentrated for a still red in Champagne

There is very good verve to the utterly delicious and slightly finer medium weight flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the balanced and harmonious finish

Shows a slightly roasted quality but also terrific energy and lift to the rather brooding aromas of dark berries

aged in 50% new oak
