"A fine wine for laying down, to be enjoyed with an excellent duck breast... "

"A magnificent Alain Brumont wine that is still young. Deep in dark Tannat flavors and dense structure, the wine is powerful with its black fruit and texture. Smoky, ripe, the wine's barrel aging is intended to smooth and give depth as it matures. Drink from 2026. (Wine Enthusiast 2022)
