This wine needs at least 6 months of bottle age given its relatively tannic, tougher-textured, unevolved, more backward, leaner style. I have had this wine in other vintages and it always appears to be less forthcoming than other offerings from Chiroubles. Although it reveals good color and obvious ripeness, the wine is backward and relatively restrained for current drinking.Importers: William Deutsch & Sons, Chappaqua, NY and Wine Sellers, Skokie, IL.
