Tasting notes
Ruby-red. Aromas of coffee, mocha and exotic chocolate. Sweet, thick and superripe, with black raspberry and chocolate flavors that retain a certain sappiness despite their uncanny sweetness. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins. Although this does not exactly lead with its terroir character, it's a shame more producers were not able to make wine like this in 2003. Perrot-Minot stressed that the only way this was possible was to carefully eliminate all of the grilled, fletri grapes.

(this finished its malo in September) Bright ruby-red. Cooler aromas of blackberry and mint. Sweet, lush and gentle, with a flavor of black fruit liqueur. Finishes with substantial but thoroughly ripe tannins.
