From estate vines mostly 50 years old on terra rossa soils. A core line for Coriole, this feels like a wine made to reflect the evolution in making at this address while still satisfying loyal long-term drinkers. The impact of the soil lends the cherry and brambly-berried fruit a certain concentration and power, though the house tendency to freshness and balance is also on show, with oak (all French, 25% new for 18 months) a notable but well-integrated steward.
