licorice and a metallic touch of iron

but that's what gives this its spice

earth and mineral characteristics in its smoky

an impressive showing

cinnamon and tobacco adding depth to the plum and mulled cherry flavors

Raymond Usseglio, Chateauneuf Du Pape Imperiale other_regions licorice and a metallic touchDark and ripe, with very friendly raspberry ganache, blackberry coulis and melted licorice notes that carry through the broad, fleshy finish. Densely layered and not shy with its fruit driven profile, but there's more than enough graphite edged grip to keep this honest. Should mellow nicely in the cellar. Best from 2014 through 2025. 75 cases imported. JM
