Tasting notes
Gorgeous, deep carmine red in colour. Extremely complex nose with aromas of cooked red berries (redcurrant jelly, blackcurrant coulis) and spicy notes (black pepper, turmeric), which mingle harmoniously. Then come resinous notes, which are immediately followed by a touch of black tea and light tobacco. This extremely elegant wine offers mastered balance between the freshness of fruit (cherry, cherry juice) and the power of reductive notes (roasted peanut, coffee grounds). Magnificent, spicy, bold start to the palate, which is supported by lovely acidity. This is a fine wine for laying down and will reveal its full potential as it ages. It should be decanted in its youth.
