AETERNO

ORIGIN OF STAINED GLASS WINDOW :
St Vitus Cathedral – Prague

 

COMMENTARY :

Intense, black ink colour, purplished reflections. Nose impresses fume notes and ripe black fruits, notes of blueberry, violet, white pepper of Malabar. Relatively flexible attack which quickly gives way to a wine all in power; broad mouth, opulent and massive counterbalanced by extremely fine and delicate tannins. The spinal column of this wine is a beautiful north-Rhone-native acidity which brings a great freshness to it. Abyssal length… Use of a decanter recommended in its youth.

 
« Structure, elegance, smoothness and purity ….. Large Syrah without fuss nor bullshit made in Crozes-Hermitage; this wine is the result of the improbable meeting of a rugby player and a ballerina; to have some fun: make a blind tasting with it and enjoy…” Fred
