Reviews

The nose is fruity, aromatic, and elegant and offers a small richness as well as a fine grain. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, fleshy Questch plum, and small notes of Sichuan pepper associated with very fine hints of tonka bean and spices. The palate is fruity, and well-balanced and offers richness/juiciness, a fine acidulous frame, elegance, a fine fat as well as a fine grain. In the mouth, this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy raspberry and small notes of fleshy blackberry associated with fine touches of violet, lily as well as discreet hints of racy minerality and nutmeg. Tannins are very discreetly firm. An imperceptible hint of tonka bean on the persistence. ~94 VertdeVin.
