James Suckling 93pt

Notes of ripe plums and black cherries with layers of spice, such as anisette and cloves. Hints of chocolate, bark and wet stones. Medium-to full-bodied and tight with firm tannins. Round and velvety structure with a juicy-fruit sensation. Long finish with a floral touch to it. Merlot and cabernet franc. Very attractive.

Tasting notes

A lovely dark red color. On the palate, an intense, complex bouquet with well defined tannins and a harmonious finish. Hints of undergrowth, vanilla and dark berries in the nose. Well-rounded on the palate, with elegant tannins paving the way for a smooth and long-lasting finish.

Food pairing

Small game birds, red meats, lamb, creamy cheeses.

Vinification

The harvest is sorted and transferred into resin-coated cement vats equipped with a temperature-control system. Vetting 2 to 3 weeks before aging 15 to 18 months in oak barrels.
