Sep 29th, 2019Blind picked it as a VDN from Banyuls, not too far off. Not intensely aromatic but displaying notes of blackberry, boysenberry of a slightly stewed nature with some orange zest, choc powder that I find in these VDNs with some walnut and chestnuts too. Poir integrated spirit here and average finish.
