(from vines ranging in age from 50 to 105 years old; the crop level here was just 23 hectoliters per hectare, according to Dugat). Deep ruby-red. Very dark aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, licorice, bitter chocolate, violet and crushed rock. A step up in intensity and sweetness from the Evocelles, communicating a juicy quality to its black cherry and bitter chocolate flavors. Has the stuffing and size to support its substantial ripe tannins. Just a touch of finishing dryness to be absorbed. 89-92 points
