Dark red. Opaque? Clear White rim. At first strawberries and Dark fruits. Notes of lavender sets In. Dry mouthfeel with soft tannin. Medium-low acidity hides the abv well. It’s still young. Will probably open op in 2-3 years. Medium long finish. Prunes? Thyme. Basil.
Very pleasant. It’s both firm and friendly. I’m a great fan.

Tasted over two days, and yes, it does loosen up a bit. Starts out extremely dry and extracted, more fruit on day 2, still a bit tannic. Might come around, but wait for it.

Contrary to what the names suggest the cuvée Confiance is "senior" to the cuvée Prestige. A very solid and reliable Rasteau, well balanced, fresh, balancing dark berries, liquorice, herbal tones, tobacco and roast aromas. Consider waiting another 3 years though to fully develop.

Still young and unpolished. Dark berries, liquorice, herbal tones, tobacco and roast aromas. Consider waiting another 2 years to round the edges.
