95 Decanter

Positively soaring out of the glass with refined, ripe, dark berry fruits, elegant cedarwood notes, and powerful tannins that are superfine, creating a solid foundation to support all this ripe, generous and pure crunchy black and red fruit character. Complex notes of paprika smoke and unsweetened cocoa powder, along with graphite and anise nuances, infuse the long, full-bodied finish. For all the wine's generosity there's good tension here. A great new release from Julien Fayard.
