The brawny type – small and muscular, yet playful

A deep red plum colour with flashes of ruby and an aroma of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, with nuances of chocolate, wood and vanilla. On the palate it retains its complex assembly of fulsome blackcurrant and blackberry flavours, accompanied by dark chocolate and spicy oak. Light-bodied and full of elegance and density, yet also animated with strong acidity and resilient fruit. A velvety tannic finish with undertones of black pepper and pimento.

Bottles should definitely be opened several hours before serving!

The wine is fermented in 35% old and 65% new casks made from American and French oak before being stored in the same casks for 20 months.

Alcohol by volume: 14%, serving temperature: 16–18°C
