✨ In the Glass
Deep garnet with ruby flashes—sumptuous and dense, hinting at its complexity and age-worthy power.

👃 On the Nose
Expressive and evocative. Layers of kirsch, roasted meat, Asian five spice, and dried herbs rise from the glass, underpinned by notes of garrigue, leather, and black olive—savoury, sensual, and deeply traditional.

💫 On the Palate
Full-bodied and enveloping. The palate delivers a rich tapestry of ripe red berries, cracked pepper, smoked game, and warm spices. Velvety tannins and a broad, warming structure lead to a long, majestic finish with a touch of wild earthiness.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with slow-roasted lamb, cassoulet, duck confit, or Provençal beef daube. Also excellent with truffle-infused dishes and mature hard cheeses.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Already stunning, with the potential to cellar and evolve over 10–15+ years.
