Tax included
🍇 Grapes
Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre
🍷 Color
Surprisingly deep ruby with tiled reflections.
👃 Nose
Initial notes of walnuts and prunes suggest maturity, but the nose also reveals a rare strength of stone and flint. Over time, it opens up to aromas of fortified fruits (cherries in brandy), figs, truffles, cloves, complemented by smoky notes, orange peel, and leather.
👄 Palate
Offering an astonishing freshness for its 51 years, the palate features finely grained tannins. Complex and intense aromas of dried figs, fortified fruits, and tobacco emerge. Aged for nearly half a century in wood, this wine stands out for its exceptional finesse and length.
⌛ Aging Potential
Still 2 years.
