Tasting Notes
Dark ruby, purple reflections, broad ochre rim brightening. Fine cassis, archetypal Figeac nose of dark berries, liquorice and oak, delicately underlain with nougat and candied orange, a hint of violet and nougat in the background. Juicy, elegant, ripe heart cherry, medium complexity, ripe tannins, good freshness, chocolaty finish, balanced and fresh, mineral and very well developed, already a wonderful food companion today, endowed with length and facets, lively red berry finish.

Medium texture on the palate, rather red berry notes, fresh lemony touch, appears rather light-footed, soft cherries on the finish, lemon fruit in the aftertaste.
