(The following is from the importer materials)
The appearance is a deep ruby color. Intense black fruit aromas such as blackberry, cassis, and plum are combined with flavors of pepper, clove, and violets to create a multilayered aroma. In the mouth, it has a crisp fruit flavor and firm acidity, forming a firm structure. Fine-grained tannins and a hint of saltiness add depth and depth to the flavor, expressing not only power but also elegance. This is a wine full of energy and finesse, right down to the last aftertaste.

A genius who knows everything about Burgundy's terroir.
