A reserved but distinct provencal herb nose with just a slight hint of green leaf to add pep to the nose. Will sweeten in perfume given some time in the bottle, although a little of the typical talcum powder perfume is already starting to show through. Some apparent tannin at this youthful stage but well covered by the mid-palate sweetness and these will soften and smoothen given a short time in the cellar. The wine was matured in 80% French and 20% American oak of which a quarter was new
