And beyond

ripe and restrained nose of pure and airy black cherry

I was frankly shocked to find that the aromatic profile here was even more elegant and arguably finer than that of the Amoureuses with its bright red and blue pinot fruit

with enticing blackberry and boysenberry confiture flavors inlaid with cocoa powder and dark licorice notes

This is an impressive built-to-age Bâtard

A distinctly spicy nose reflects notes of Asian style tea, black cherry, cassis and floral hints along with a whisper of herbal tea. The lilting and gorgeously textured middle weight flavors also possess really lovely detail and energy while delivering excellent length on the stony, youthfully austere and very firm finale. This too is one to buy and cellar. Lovely juice.
