Mar 30th, 2016Expressive and showy, inviting you to ripe blackberries and cassis fruit, delicate hiding behind loads of toasty oak. Personally, I think the élevage is covering the fruit but it's a matter of preferences. Doubtlessly this perfectly mature version is of superior quality, but I was happy just tasting it.
