Note di degustazione
Opulent, rich, full and deep, with layers of richly-textured, black, red and blue fruits from start to finish. The voluptuous ending lingers due to all the layers of fresh, perfectly ripe, sweet, dark fruits, licorice, chocolate and a touch of minerality in the endnote. Drink from 2024-2045.

The 2019 Calicem is a small production Merlot from Couvent des Jacobins that was fermented in barrel. A plush, heady wine, the 2019 offers up copious black fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice and spice. It's a big wine, with a lot of depth, density and volume, all beautifully balanced. There is no shortage of personality here.
An intense, spicy red with blackberry, chocolate and nutmeg, as well as some smoky undertones. Full and chewy. Flavorful finish. Some chalky and wet-earth notes. Needs time to soften and come together. Try after 2026.
The 2019 Calicem was picked on 27 September: pure Merlot matured for 18 months in 500-litre barrels, all new. It offers opulent red and blue fruit on the nose, modern in style, lavished in that vanillary new oak that seems well integrated. The palate is plush and velvety smooth, fleshy and rounded with a sweet core, thankfully retaining satisfying delineation on the finish. Give it 3-5 years in bottle. 2,800 bottles produced.
