I always like Xavier’s wines. Rich, dark with a very pleasant vegetal note.

Brett aromas are right on the limiter here. Beneath it you have blackberry along with a bit of violet and pharmaceuticals. Juicy and thin in the palate.

Dark garnet with a purple edge, and a jammy plummy nose. Very smooth, not too heavy, red & black plum with some cherry as well. Fairly dry with medium tannins and low acidity but perhaps a tinge of citrus at the very end. Really nice to pair with a lot of foods
