TASTING NOTE: 

The color is deep, garnet color with violet hues. On the nose, aromas of black fruit compote (black cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant) combine with smoky and liquorice notes, typical of the Chassis sector. In retro-olfaction, on a background of minerality, some notes of eucalyptus and menthol arrive. On the palate, the "serious" combines with the "greed": the attack reveals freshness and vivacity. The material is tannic but dense, fleshy, almost silky. The balance is real. All the aromas present in the olfactory stage are revealed, creating a beautiful complexity, rich and faithful to the terroir of origin of the Domaine des Grands Chemins. The structure of this wine, as well as its aromatic persistence, give it a real aging potential.
