Visual aspect: very intense and sustained, glints of old gold, brilliant. Nose: powerful and complex, very rich, fine development, crystallized fruit, honey, slight touch of menthol, calisson d'Aix. Palate: extensive aroma subtlety, generous, clear hints of dried fruit, bees' wax, very good length, on an elegant bitterness. Match with food: cheese (Tomme, Comté). Comments: a pleasant surprise for this atypical wine, the maturing is original and the result opens up countless possibilities for gastronomic pairings.
