Tasted it at the winery. Very nice! I opened it up that night with a dinner I cooked. It had overly ripe fruit, over the top brightness and a bit bitter on the finish. I wasn't feeling it at all. But...day 2...awww yeah! It mellowed out and showed ripe integrated fruit with spice and hints of clove and a touch of ground black pepper. This is tasting excellent right now. Even better than what I tasted in the winery. What a find!

染み込み系で美味しいラベットラの上級キュベ。
ラベットラに比べると結構ボリューム感のある甘い果実が第一印象。
その後、ミネラル感というか旨味があるから、垂れた印象がなく、グッと締まる。
タンニンや酸は控えめ。
アルコールは15度高く、インキーな香りもするが、口に含んだ時のアルコール感はそこまでではなくお上品。

Superbe découverte! Riche et goûteux. Il a parfaitement accompagner notre menu découverte chez Alep (blv. Jean-Talon, MTL).

Il faut trouver un distributeur! :)
