Ripe though distinctly fresh aromas include those of plum, violet, black cherry, violet and subtle spice nuances. As one would reasonably assume, there is more volume and density, if less minerality, to the bigger and richer medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a robust, powerful and serious finish that is also a bit more structured. While qualitatively similar, this and the Combe Brûlée are stylistically distinctly different. 89-91 Points, Outstanding Allen Meadows, Burghound
