Full body, deep garnet to purple colour. Ripe black and blue fruits forward aroma complemented by cooking spices and smoky background. Plum and sweet cherry palate following by hot finish of juicy acidity and silky tannins. Rather impressive, rich and powerful than complex, slightly unbalanced. Food friendly, well pairing to spicy vegetables stew. Open one hour ahead. Serve 16ºC - 20ºC. Drink now and the next four/six years.

Une curiosité...un 100% petit verdot (selon SAQ.COM) mais selon d`autres sites serait Cab Sauv, Merlot, P-V... et c`est un vin d'Israel à proche 60$! Nez animal, sur les fruits noirs et la fumée. En bouche, corsé et sur l`élevage. Tabac, cerises, prunes et café. Les tannins sont serrés et la finale asséchante. A ce prix, un GROS NON!

I was 100% sure that I it was my last 2018 bottle... only to find out it was my first 2019 (7 more to go and one more 2018) bottle 🥺😊
Wonderful wine, I always thought that 5 years bring it to it's peak, seems that this is true for 2019 too
Bright dark red color, with
shades of purple.
Medium plus body, medium acidity, soft but still present tanines.
Mildly but very nicely aromatic, mixture of black and red fruits, barrel, spices.
Same mixture on the palate, in a very balanced & enjoyable way.
Great wine
