As it turns out

This is like a block of stone at present and like the Chevalier

we can safely give these wines a 10-year drinking window at a bare minimum

not as much as in Les Terrasses but more than in L'Ermita

The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity

Domaine, de la Commaraine Size:6x750ml As it turns out(from a . 15 ha parcel). An airy and ripe nose combines notes of both red and dark berries, spice and a suggestion of violet. The sleek, delicious and vibrant middleweight flavors possess solid density as well as an appealing mouthfeel while displaying good if not genuinely special persistence on the balanced if slightly rustic finish that is firm enough to warrant 5 to 8 years of cellaring.
