This Picardy red wine presents a deep garnet colour with clear clarity. The nose is moderately intense, releasing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and blackcurrant leaf, with subtle notes of charred wood and dried apricot. On the palate, the wine has a medium body, with a drying sensation from the subtle tannins and a medium level of sweetness. Blackcurrant flavours dominate, accompanied by coconut and cooked red plum notes. The finish is long and satisfying, with a well-balanced and complex flavour profile. While ready to drink now, this wine will also benefit from further cellaring, with its structure and flavours promising to evolve and improve over time. Overall, a high-quality wine deserving of its 4.5/5 rating.
