"Like Don Quixote, don't be afraid to take him on!"

“An excellent Moulin-à-Vent that combines richness, full-bodied concentration, and fine tannins to create an alluring profile on the palate. The full-bodied, earthy notes are intense, but the complex character of the dark fruit is even more pronounced. A very long, velvety finish. Ready to drink now or for aging.” (James Suckling 2024)
