Chalky tannins override the deep, black-cherry flavor. Cassis and licorice streaks are also present, and there is no quibble with the concentration. Perhaps more bottle age will smooth out the chalky finish.

Champoux is known for powerfully deep, cherry-flavored fruit. Here there is also a strong minerality, like dry rock or cement, but it quickly runs into a chalky, tannic finish. The fruit seems flat, not spoiled in any way, but lacking vibrancy.
