Floral and bold, this wine offers a full-bodied, supple texture structured by firm tannins. Long and complex, it expresses the freshness of the black schist soils of Espira de l'Agly right through to the finish.

Review by Mr. CHRISTIAN D. Posted on August 5, 2018

The first bottle was corked—these things happen! The second one was fine! The third one had a strange taste, like a wine that hasn't aged well and has turned to vinegar—in short, I was very disappointed!
