Not subtle. Not balanced. Way Sauvage. Slightly burnt. But I learned to love it with a brace of quail at the American Hotel.

Completely different experiences on nose vs palate. Seriously funky nose, beets, blood, clove and slice, very earthy, hunt of stewed sour cherries. On the plate it really shines, complex, symphonic in its attack and super long finish.

Completely different style when compared to the 01 LT where you had power, precision and finesse. The RE had bigger fruit & spice, harder edges, more of a rustic masculine style.
