Brilliant ruby. Powerful, oak-spiced red and dark berry liqueur, vanilla, mocha and woodsmoke qualities on the deeply perfumed nose. It is broad and weighty in style but not lacking energy to its sweet Chambord, cherry-cola, espresso and exotic spice flavors. Youthfully grippy tannins frame a long, smoky finish that leaves suggestions of cola, allspice and candied lavender behind. All whole clusters.In Bond€318.00 -

2016 marks the first bottling of de Nalys under the Guigal umbrella and this intensely ripe but pristine wine makes a promising debut. It's luscious but elegant, loaded with rich black-plum and cassis flavors firmed by piquant hits of licorice and pepper. Silky tannins make it approachable already but the wine should improve through 2036 and hold further still.In Bond€413.00 -
