Visually the wine has a deep Garnet core with and orange brick on the rim. 14 years of age have really done this wine some justice. Aromas burst from the glass with raspberries, eucalyptus and most intensely black licorice. On the palate you are rewarded with tart black cherries, cranberries and black tea. The wine has such great focus and energy. The tannins have been tamed with time and have taken their place in the back of the car. The secondary notes have come up to the front seat and are in control. The finish is long and tapers off so well.

Superbe! Belle structure un peu pulpeuse avec une saine acidité. Fruits très mûrs: fraises cuites, cerise noires. Aurait été parfait avec un porc sauce à la figue.

Surprisingly good. At its peak. Alcohol is high, but does not feel high. Very good balanced, quite fruity. The viognier brings some lightness and elegance. Spices, black fruits, round structure with good acidity.
