Subtle but not invisible wood sets off the less elegant but more complex nose that is composed of intensely sauvage aromas that display plenty of earth, humus and underbrush influences on the mostly dark currant fruit. There is excellent volume and punch to the more imposingly scaled flavors that display almost as much minerality and a good deal more power though nowhere close to the same refinement. Still this should ultimately be the better wine as there is slightly better underlying material.
