Written Notes

Pale ruby, brick rim, super elegant, some herbal and peppery notes, red and dark fruit, beautifull balance, fresh acidity, seductive and vibrant as few, ripe tannins almost gone, great structure, long length. Why on earth do Jaboulet not make this wine in this style anymore, that is a sign of insanity. 93

Very aromatic wine with some roasted and candied coffee beans, earthiness, baked beetroots and some varnish. The first nose has peculiar apricoty aromas reminding of botrytised sweet wine aromas. The palate shows more robust flavours with some green and rustic tunes.
