"08-19-06 Appearance: Purple almost black.
Nose: Spice, sweet oak, blackberry, cassis, big and interesting.
Palate: Medium dry with good acidity, heavyweight. Slightly less sweet than the white and rose, but certainly no smaller. Big dark fruits, spicy oak, spices seem less than in the white or rose. Long clean finish is drier than expected. Chocolate on the aftertaste.
Conclusions: Sainte-Croix, Maréchal Foch, Lucie Kuhlman. Almost like a port with some spiciness added to it. I suspect that this would evolve into something very special if given 10 years." lfw


FROM THE PRODUCERS:"Il est doté d’une belle couleur rubis et ses arômes de cassis, de bois, de fumée et d’épices éveillent les sens. En bouche, le plaisir est au rendez-vous avec de riches saveurs de fruits cuits, de légers tannins et une longue finale vineuse. Bon dès maintenant, il est suffisamment solide pour vieillir plusieurs années. À servir légèrement rafraîchi avec des fromages, du chocolat noir ou un bon cigare."
