What experts say about this wine

Falstaff

Rich ruby red colour with a garnet rim. Intense and multi-layered nose, showing lots of ripe plums and sour cherries, then red currants, a touch of savouriness and leather. Lots of savory tannins on the palate, multi-layered as well, with a long and savoury finish.

VertdeVin

Lovely aromatic nose, concentrated and offering depth. It reveals notes of blackberry cream, crushed purple plum and small notes of purple fig associated with a touch of candied red berries as well as a hint of chocolate and sweet spices. The palate is elegant, gourmet, delicate and offers accuracy, a tangy frame, minerality, tension as well as energy. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crème de cassis, concentrated purple plum and small notes of crushed blueberry associated with a touch of candied strawberry as well as hints of chocolate, violet and a subtle hint almost laurel (in the background). The tannins are finely tight. Presence of a subtle hint of roasting/grilled in the background. (translated)
