Tasting notes
Superb deep vermillion red color. The first nose is elegant, fruity (orange peel) and delicately floral (carnation, pink). Warm scents of leather and incense then emerge. Balsamic notes gradually give way to delectable aromas of brioche and still-warm freshly baked bread. Nuances of truffle recall the clayey nature of this wine's terroir. A full-bodied, generous start to the palate offers pleasant flavors of sugared almonds and slightly bitter hot chocolate. The tannins are mature, assertive and remarkably round. Excellent length on the palate is punctuated by refreshing bitterness. Exceptional balance. This is a superbly pleasurable wine that will reveal its full potential as it ages.
