This ruby coloured wine has a complex nose that has much fruit with red currants and red cherry to the fore with berry fruits behind, there is also some lovely complex oriental spice, and much garrigue herb character with thyme and sage noted.

 

The palate is subtle and complex, with lovely fruit, similar to the nose, with red currants and red cherry to the fore, but with the berry fruits being more forward, and better defined. The lovely complex oriental spice includes allspice, and nutmeg, with a hint of black pepper, and the more forward garrigue herb character includes not only thyme and sage but oregano and bay with a hint of rosemary. The ripe smooth tannins are very elegant and the length impressive.

 

The overall impression is one of complexity, subtlety and above all class and elegance.
