Brownish tawny. Notes of cherries, spice, mushrooms, dark earth and a little kirsch that developed over the night. In the mouth the fruit is faded but there is still a nice structure to it. Declined in performance over the night. I gave the last bottle too much airtime before tackling it. This was enjoyable right away with a pop, decant and pour. — 6 years ago
Robe assez foncée. Fruits rouges murs au nez. En bouche, c’est assez costaud, beaucoup de fruits, une certaine richesse et des tannins encore présent. Longueur moyenne. — 8 years ago
Com un ranci amb menys potència i més dolçor. Vin de voile , vinificat com un vin jaune. Perfecte per un peyral i una fourme al Belvedère. — 9 years ago
