Ripe, with crushed plum and boysenberry puree notes, yet fresh, showing good lift throughout. A swath of roasted apple wood flavors on the finish needs to get soaked up, but there's enough depth of fruit for that.

The blackberry and blueberry character is impressive on the nose with some licorice and graphite. Salty. Full-bodied, tannic and velvety. Powerful finish. Chewy. Best Faugères ever?

«…Deep garnet-purple colored, it slips sensuously from the glass with notions of blackberry compote, wild blueberries and redcurrant jelly with hints of cardamom, cigar box and dusty soil plus a waft of star anise. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, it has a firm backbone of rounded tannins with bold freshness and loads of black fruit preserves layers, finishing long and spicy.»

Dichtes Purpur mit undurchsichtiger Mitte und vioiettem Rand. Dichtes würziges Brombeerbouquet, dahinter viel Cassis, Schattenmorellensaft und Veilchen. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und geniaI stützender Frische, präzisevinifiziert. Im gebündelten, sehr dichten Finale blaue Beeren, kühlendes Menthol und Lakritze. Grossartige Leistung, kann noch zulegen!
