2013 Domaine Serene Grand Cheval

Dark purple. Sexy oak-spiced black and blue fruits incense vanilla and candied flowers on the assertively perfumed nose. Supple sweet and penetrating offering pliant blackberry cherry-vanilla and violet pastille flavors that pick up a smoky nuance with air. Shows impressive depth as well as energy and finishes very long and smooth with sneaky tannins shaping the sappy fruit. This offbeat blend works quite well here.
