“It is youthful scarlet, greedily tearing. Sensual perfume of wild strawberry, cherry compote and sweet flowers. Nice smoky touch of vanilla and earthy autumnal tones, also a very nice graphite minerality. In the mouth very accessible with candied cherries and sweet ripe strawberries, spices, rich and velvety in texture -typical Tollot Beaut. Ripe tannins, backed by eighteen months new French oak, full of flavor, though this wine will evolve for another six years before he is at his best. An enticing well-balanced wine. An investment for your cellar. Have patience.”
