Tasting Notes

Nose: Candied fruit notes evolve into balsamic aromas of spruce bark and cedar scents.
Dried fruits take second place, with grapes, figs and apricots.
A subtle synthesis of honey and curry, followed closely by candied orange peel.

Palate: A wine of blossoming complexity and maturity.
The density and generosity of the wine reveal the spirit of the vintage.
On the finale, the wood brings notes of mocha, roasted coffee and chocolate.
A wine that highlights the Verzenay terroir.
