Tasting

The King of Provence !
Very rare wine, only produced every two or three years.
Exotically perfumed, there's lots of complexity, subtlety and elegance, mixed with  aroma of cassis very intense to start. A supple, concentrated palate of dark chocolate, spicy (cloves), with  beutiful tannins suppleness and finesse very well integrated to new oak barrels. Long and looking fantastic for its age. It will enchant you quickly.
