Une robe rubis foncé avec des reflets violets. Un nez intense et complexe de fruits noirs, d'épices nobles et asiatiques, d'herbes comme la menthe, les olives. La bouche est savoureuse, longue, les tanins présents et gommeux sans aucune sécheresse.

A private lunch: Rich and ripe in style, with fruit of red and black berries and plums, combined with spicier notes (pepper, clove, tobacco), has the freshness and balance to carry its huge alcoholic weight (16% ABV) with apparent ease, the tannins are velvety and there is a touch of liquorice on the savoury finish. Very attractive, for drinking in the first decade of its life.

Deep, dark reddish-purple color, almost opaque. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, raspberries & plums with overtones of garrigue & floral notes, Provençal herbs, anise, pepper notes, earth/dusty notes, leather, spices, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, jammy, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, mulberries & pomegranate with spices, herbs, pepper, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing although it will develop further with additional aging. The 16% alcohol listed is indicative of its ripeness.

Solid. Recommend a PnP as by the 4 hour mark, this was starting to fade a little.
