Winemaker Philippe Melka's Tasting Notes
"An extremely seductive and inviting nose reveals exciting aromas of chocolate, dried herbs, and an abundance of alluring spices. On the palate, the wine is lush and textural, yet impeccably balanced, finishing with a beautiful interplay of ripe berries, mentholated herbs, and a perfectly judged level of complex, fine-grained tannins. A wine destined to age gracefully for decades."
**There were just 42 magnums (1.5L) produced for this vintage. They are all beautifully etched and hand-painted with a wax closure, plus 6 random bottles are signed by Winemaker Philippe Melka.**
