(from Mazis Bas). A big step up in aromatic elegance and complexity and while the toast is not subtle, neither is it really intrusive though it continues onto the punchy, powerful and rugged medium full flavors that culminate in a dusty, rich, mouth coating and extremely long finish. This is distinctly sauvage in character with moderate toast, which should integrate though it wouldn’t surprise if there wasn’t always a residual influence, even with time in bottle. 91/2012+
