2016
Tasting
This 2016 vintage gives us a very intense purple colour. The slightly woody nose has aromas of black fruits with an almost stewed note. Some subtle scents of vanilla and toast. It is full and silky on the palate. The black fruits still present are felt on a morello cherry background. It is all finesse and elegance.
