Tasting notes
Bright, deep red-ruby. Primal crushed raspberry and game on the nose, with musky suggestions of coffee and mocha. Densely packed and distinctly wild in the mouth, with a juicy quality to the black fruit flavors. This is a bit reduced today but the tannic finish boasts very strong and persistent fruit and mineral flavors.

Medium ruby-red. Sauvage aromas of crystallized black raspberry, violet pastille and animal fur; conveys an impression of noble rusticity. Then dense and sweet in the mouth; larger-scaled than the Champeaux, with a more layered texture. Very rich, broad flavors of black raspberry, leather, minerals and spices. Finishes with big, ripe tannins and excellent length.
