Sommelier's Note

"Distinguished and elegant, this cuvée captivates us from the very first sniff with its enticing nose of black fruits, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. On the palate, the wine unfolds a rich and dense texture with supple tannins. Beautiful, lingering finish. A highly successful vintage!"
