Tasting notes
(aged in all older foudres ): Dark purple. Powerful, strongly perfumed blackberry and cherry liqueur scents pick up sexy floral and spicecake nuances and a hint of smokiness with aeration. Rich, seamless and broad on the palate, offering concentrated yet lively black and blue fruit and violet pastille flavors energized by juicy acidity and an intense mineral quality. Finishes smooth, sweet and extremely long, with velvety tannins and a strong echo of peppery spices and smoky minerals.

Saturated ruby. Powerful black and blue fruit aromas are lifted and sharpened by a strong, spicy quality and a suggestion of fresh flowers. Supple and broad on entry, then tighter in the middle, offering vibrant boysenberry and bitter cherry flavors and a deep espresso quality. Densely packed yet energetic, finishing with strong punch and slow-building tannins.
