Tasting Notes :
A powerful and fine wine. Mature nose with mild tobacco and morelloflavours. In mouth,rich attack of ripe fruits, livened up by little fresh fruits liqueur (blackcurrant/raspberry ) aromas. The melting oak tannins come all along with the wine in mouth. Fresh, complex (garrigue, coffee-roasting) and with a very long finish.
