"Like Don Quixote, don't be afraid to attack it!"

"An excellent Moulin-à-Vent that combines richness, ample concentration, and fine tannins to create a seductive composition on the palate. The fleshy, earthy notes are intense, but the complex character of black fruits is even more pronounced. Very long and velvety finish. Drink now or hold." (James Suckling 2024)
