Tasting Notes

**Note: from purchased fruit in Mazoyères and released under the Maison Virgile Lignier label; 100% whole cluster made with only shot berries and no punch downs**
A deft touch of wood frames a dense and beautifully well-layered nose of violets, plum, cassis and plenty of warm earth. The rich, concentrated and exceptionally serious large-scaled flavors possess seemingly buckets of extract that coat the mouth on the long, powerful, focused and explosive finish. This is most impressive and clearly constructed to age over the long-term.
