Tasting notes
Bright medium red. Deeper and more brooding than the classique, with powerful scents of blackberry, cassis, smoked meat, black cardamom and graphite. Brighter in the mouth, offering sweet dark berry and candied cherry flavors, with slow-building tannins adding grip. The finish features broad, fleshy berry fruit and candied floral qualities and excellent persistence. This already shows a boatload of luscious fruit.

Inky ruby. Sexy red berry and floral scents, with bright graphite and cracked pepper adding complexity. Juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors are enlivened by brisk acidity and firmed by suave tannins. Finishes with tangy strawberry flavor and compelling sweetness and length. This is extremely well-balanced and graceful.
