A great wine high 18 months in barrels in 80% new, of a beautiful ruby with orange hues with always beautiful tears flowing in the glass, gives us the sensation of not failing this appointment to the image of the jazz trio chosen, to sublime lyricism.

A nose marked by very fine tertiary aromas (undergrowth, Russia leather, truffle notes) carefully based on the vortex of the piano to medium sounds.

The gustatory delight where molten, silky and soft tannins feast us, gradually echoes the scintillating murmur of brushes from the drum while with the strained strings of the bass player.

A splendid surprise despite a forgotten vintage and a tasting of late, such as the luxurious piece of the noble end of a deluge of drums jazz pianist!

Special thanx to Stéphanie Reiss for the bottle
