A deep robe with copper highlights, a complex nose of smoky and spiced notes, and on swirling, almost exotic overtones reminiscent of curry: that is how the domaine describes its 1996. On the palate, it shows real smoothness, fine balance and an intensity that lends it both character and length. Le Figaro Vin picked up a hint of coffee and chicory. Gilbert & Gaillard rated it 92/100. A single harvest, distilled at Eauze. For those born in 1996: 70 cl bottle, 42% vol., wooden gift box.
