Drunk in 08/20. Dark color. Nose of red fruit. Supple on the palate. Can still be laid down.

I prefer the Rioja from the same producer; this wine is a little rounder and has a clearer vanilla flavour, but it's very pleasant and much appreciated.

You can really feel Michel ROLLAND's touch in this wine. Long on the palate, with great suavity and balance.
