Cask sample. Compact and blocky in structure, as if pixellated at present and needs time to gain resolution. That's entirely forgivable for a grand cru, and the underlying fruit has a tarry savoury character that bodes well. Patience needed.
From barrel. Rich mid purple, juicy but lacks precision. Some toast and a light barrel spice, juicy dark red fruit but tails away. Not quite up to standard for grand cru. Perhaps some of the precision will return after racking.
