Thibault likes the reduction caused by malolactic fermentation. Adds an inky character, more subtle than reduction in the initial fermentation. Very sexy. Fine grippy tannins are firm but sleek, and sit well with the well poised dark berry fruit. Clean, firm but sweetly ripe in the middle. Dense and intense, but good, needs time.
