TASTING NOTES
Warm and powerful bouquet
After 21 years of aging on yeast lees, the wine has developed a rich maturity with dark, warm notes, initially sweet (licorice, nougatine, Malaga) then dry (mocha, hazelnut, toast, charcoal).
A powerful, full-bodied palate.
On the palate, there is an immediate sensation of the power and volume of a mouth-coating wine that is full-bodied yet light. Generous notes of candied grapes, dates and honey give way to the flavorful astringency of coffee or licorice in the finish.
A STRONG, FULL-BODIED PALATE
An impressive sensation of power and volume. An enveloping body that is full yet light. Generous notes of candied grapes, dates and honey. Flavorful bitter finish of coffee or licorice.
