2012 | Rene Favre & Fils | Renommee Saint-Pierre

Solemn dark purple color with multiple tiled flashes. Voluptuous, the bouquet opens with scents of red fruits (dominated by morello cherry) macerated in alcohol, with scents of spices (curry, ginger) and smoked licorice. In the mouth, from the attack to the finish, its silky texture with tannins well softened by barrel aging displays all its sweetness. On the palate, kirsch, tapenade, liquorice, patinated wood and flint linger on the taste buds.
