Black fruits dominant. Huge structure with massive tannin. Biodynamic since 07. It tastes so young with 11 years age. Very elegant. Incredible.

Bright, rustic, with substance and great structure. Treat yourself -- big, fat ribeye at med rare to medium, nothing but a touch of salt, pepper, Rosemary and good hot bread and butter on the side. The trinity

Let this husky wine breathe, well before the steak-frites arrive. A few hours, ideally.

81 vintage - clearly an old wine but a good bottle, very elegant and still fresh!

Primarily Malbec with a little Merlot added. Rich black fruit aromas with notes of baking spices and earth. BIG Blackberry, plum, and blueberry fruit flavors with hints of leather and dark chocolate. Firm tannins and nice structure.
