Tasting notes

Intense garnet colour.Very interesting on the nose, with fine aromas of tasty oak, pencil lead, leather, black cherry and blacck berry. Very fleshy on the mouth, with a strong fruity flavour, well strutured and wide open. It has an impeccable balance and a persistent aftertaste.

(Vintage 2019)

Nez de prunes, d'herbes séchées, de feuilles de thé, de clous de girofle et d'épices à gâteau. Il est corsé avec des tanins mâchus. Crayeux et structuré avec un noyau de fruits noirs en centre de bouche. Finition ferme à ce stade. Un peu de vieillissement en bouteille le rendra encore meilleur. A boire dès 2023.
