Find below the tasting notes from D. Fornage

Still very young color. Racy aromas with elegance. Strong personality too. The fine tertiary aromas of mushrooms and humus appear. Wine with a very tight frame, concentrated, but without heaviness. It is crystalline in its precision with a magnificently iodized note. Its constitution is really solid. The finish is extremely long. It was born to overcome the decades.
