(2016 vintage notes)

A blend of Syrah and Chenin du Sud, in a complex, refined ensemble. The nose delivers aromas of violets, coffee and black fruit, with a mouthful of savory flavors. The structure is marked by powerful tannins. Very limited quantities!

Note and review by M. VIVIEN T. Published on 10/03/2021

I was expecting a pleasant surprise, but in the end a wine that clearly lacks personality and character.
