"A jewel in the Arcane collection from century-old Grenache grapes.

"Purple in color, with a sensational young bouquet of crushed flowers, blueberries, blackberries, saltiness and spice, it hits the palate with incredible richness, a thick, unctuous mid-palate and ripe but present tannins. This is a singular, exotic beauty that we hope all our readers will taste! " (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)
