Note di degustazione
One of our top sellers last year, from 80 year old vines. One of the more generous styles, with baked plums, cherry, blueberry, deliciously concentrated, sweet fruit, good power, but with amazing focus and a lovely second wave of fruit that delivers great lift and energy and continues into a long, elastic finish. This has a freshness and generosity that will develop beautifully for a long time.

Inky ruby. Expansive, mineral- and spice-tinged aromas of cherry liqueur, black currant and olive paste are complemented by a sexy floral quality that builds as the wine opens up. Juicy, alluringly sweet black and blue fruit liqueur flavors show impressive depth and spicy thrust. Delivers a compelling blend of power and vivacity and finishes very long, with persistent sweetness and velvety, well-knit tannins.
100% Serine and Syrah (80 to over 100 years old). 50% destemmed. Terroir: Les Eygats and Patou – on the mid slopes. Ageing: 24 months in new and one-year-old oak (Allier – Tronçais). Very deep crimson. High toned with a hint of reduction at this point. Very ambitious and demanding – hard work on the palate with masses of acidity and tannin. Needs lots of time. Very edgy and tough. (JR)
