TASTING NOTES
A deep purple Merlot displaying intense blackcurrant and blackberry notes first of all, complemented by hints of spice and vanilla. The same aromas, highlighted by fresh menthol notes, are apparent in rich, dense extract lining a well-structured palate with powerful tannins just waiting to mature. An excellently crafted wine despite this great vintage, the fruit of untiring, uncompromising labour which has enabled the typical characteristics of Merlot and the high quality of the terroir to be expressed.

TASTING NOTES
Beautiful dark red color announcing a beautiful concentration. The fine nose reveals very pretty aromas of dark berries harmoniously nuanced with spicy and vanilla notes. The palate is dense, rich, greedy, lined with ripe fruit, beautiful silky tannins from Merlots harvested at perfect maturity. It has a very nice aromatic development, with a nice balance and a supple tannic structure. The finish offers a nice length on the fruit.
