Saturday, February 3, 2024 - The first glass offered notes of dry leaves, leather, bacon, smoke and cola. Then fruit started to appear after 1h: dried strawberry and cherry. Little by little dark fruit is taking over with blackberry and cassis, and vanilla, crushed gravel and sage. The wine tastes younger and younger! Mouth follows the same evolution. A lot of umami there: soy sauce, game meat dominate at first but then leave space to potpourri, violet, dried fruit. Fresh acidity, plush texture. Long finish
