A rare Cuvee from The best barrels in magnums only. Needs a lot of air, still fresh. Light red color, elegant nose. Notes of red berries, cherries, vanilla, tobacco. Silky tannins and still some acidity in the long finish. Excellent !

Decanted for 4 hours and was glad I had time to do this. This opened nicely as a result and was an excellent compliment to the Bolognese we had for dinner. Still has life but probably will not improve.

This one needed a lot of air, quite closed and a bit reductive initially, it went through an off phase with rotten tones, then the nose cleaned gradually. Slightly jammy cherry fruit. Medium+ to full body, good acidity, velvety yet grippy texture. Dark fruit, some spice and menthol on the palate, rather concentrated, tannic. Very long.
