Assez corsé et ample, pas mal
de fruits noirs et des épices.
Les tannins sont charnus et la finale bien longue
est aussi soutenue.1 person found this helpful Comment -

October 9, 2022 - Deep red colour in the glass. Nose is spicy, I think this could be influenced by the high alcohol, a little cigar aroma. Big body, medium high acidity, tannins are pleasant and integrated. Flavours of ripe red fruit and tobacco.

October 5, 2022 - Tried a 2018 & 2019 together. Definitely improves with age so far . Well balanced dark cherry/fruit on the allette - less fruity on the nose than pallette. Slight cocoa hints on the back of the mouth, slight baking soda hint on the end . Drinkable and enjoyable. Preferred the blind trust over the portfolio but might improve with age. Others with me concurred.
