Very nice deep ruby colour, dazzling. Nose of black cherry, salted caramel, gingerbread. Full and indulgent on the palate with notes of brioche.
Very nice impression of sweetness. Harmonious and generous overall, ending with an elegant and smooth finish.
To be decanted 2 hours before tasting
Enjoy from now until 2023-2028.
