This isn't as spicy as the En Caillerets but there is fine complexity to the mix of plum, dark cherry and earth scents. I very much like the texture of the more powerful if less refined medium weight flavors that flash a taut... Read More
Here the expressive nose is more elegant than it usually is with its pretty extract of black pinot fruit, soft earth, violet and rose petal scents. The lilting but impressively punchy medium-bodied flavors retain excellent delineation... Read More
The pure, super-elegant and airy nose displays its array of plum, red and dark currant, spice and pretty floral wisps. The notably finer if less powerful and muscular middle weight flavors also possess both lovely detail and punch,... Read More
