Wild strawberries, tart red cherries, raspberries and pomegranates enveloped by fully bloomed red roses and violets. Some iron and red clay, cinnamon and nutmeg, black tea. Med plus acid, med tannin, med plus finish. So expressive.

#1999 nez très particulier de rose fanée, de bonbon au miel. Belle texture en bouche mais trop alcooleux à mon goût.
