Tasting : Expressive and intense nose, it reveals aromas of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant,
blackberry), subtle notes of sweet spices, garrigue and a slightly peppery
touch. The attack is ample and generous, beautiful fruity richness and an
already silky tannic structure. We find notes of licorice and thyme and a hint of
cocoa on the finish. Perfect to accompany grilled meats, lamb with Provençal
herbs or a platter of mature cheeses.
