creme de cassis

forward Pavillon Rouge over the next decade or so

The old vines are very much apparent as this velvety yet very serious effort displays excellent power and like many of these Gevrey grands crus

it should ideally not be opened in the next 10 years

This feels very lithe with an almost perfect bead of acidity

Sloan, Proprietary Red other_regions creme de cassisDeep garnet purple colored, the 2014 Proprietary Red needs a little coaxing to reveal slowly unfurling notions of warm black cherries, mulberries, redcurrants and blackberry compote with touches of licorice, tapenade, chargrill and scorched earth. Full bodied, firm, grainy and packed with layers of black fruits and savory flavors, it has a firm, grainy backbone of very ripe tannins and tons of vivacity, finishing very long.
