Limited edition: 600 bottles per year. Historical tradition: tribute to 3 generations of André ; Louis Fabre’s son, father and grand-father. Created by the blend of more than 40 vintages, where the elders bring a unique complexity and the youngers add freshness and balance. Jancis Robinson 18/20: “The colour of carnelian. Smells earthy, dried blood and dried cherries, baharat spice and sumac and cinnamon. Fills the mouth with the silvery sound-spice of snare drums, a wine that you taste with your spine, every vertebra set into tiny vibrations. (…) Spectacular. Despite being a sweet wine, I would look to savoury food to pair it with. It was wonderful with biltong. I’d love to try it with a chicory, walnut and Baron Bigod salad, drizzled with molasses.” Tamlyn Currin.
