Mature expression of premium cuvée showing nice evolution. Deep ruby with garnet edges. Nose: developed appealing complexity with dried cherries, fig, leather, tobacco and subtle earthy notes. Palate: good concentration of preserved red/black fruits alongside tertiary characteristics of spice box and forest floor. Full-bodied with nicely softened, resolved tannins and balanced acidity. Persistent finish with pleasant savory character. [Rhone Roots 2025, Lumiere London]
