Reviews
"...Enveloppée par un élégant boisé épicé, la bouche confirme ces bonnes dispositions par son caractère onctueux et finement tanique. Déjà plaisant, il ne manque pas de potentiel en cave"
"This amber colored sweet wine is made from Grenache, Grenache Gris and Grenache Noir and aged at least 60 months in
oak. A rollicking and friendly set of aromas that include orange rind, almonds, pears and brandy. Layered and complex with
flavors of light apples and oranges." [+]
