Deep red. Wild strawberries. Garrigue. A hint of lavender? Black peber. Some underlying acidity. Prunes from Agen. Medium tannins and a drying effect to my cheecks. A dash of bitter chocolate in the finish? Hides the ABV well. But maybe 15 % is an understatement … Retronasal aromas are rather floral. Raspberries? It’s very prototypic old school Rasteau. Powerfull. Restrainted at first. Then an explosion of aromas sets in.

8/15/2020; Color, dark clear red; 1st nose, alcohol and red fruits; 2nd nose, herbs and spices. On the palate, smooth with good amount of tannins; medium finish. Great pairing with seafood paella.

Color, clear red; 1st nose; hibiscus and red fruits; 2nd nose, raspberry. On the palate, medium body and good balance of fruits and acidity.
