This is often Taupenot’s best 1er and in 2015 it is again with its brooding aromas of spice, earth, the sauvage, cassis and plum that exhibit interesting wisps of leather and smoke. There is outstanding concentration and muscle to the punchy medium weight plus flavors that conclude in a beautifully long and notably firm finish of focused power and seriously good depth. This balanced effort is built-to-age and will need it. Check it out. 93/2027+
