Deep garnet with a ruby hue. A bit mute to start on the nose with some smoked meats, white spices and dusty. A little bit of dark fruits and floral notes with some air. Medium tannins (6/10) and well balanced. Bacon on the attack with graphite, black fruits, and spices. Long finish. Drink till 2022. | Sample from distributor.

Ultra mocha chocolate vanilla notes with a creamy full body and smooth tannins. If your into Syrah with that heavy french oak this will not disappoint.
