N A U T I L E A
Appearance
Bright ruby, delicate garnet.
Bouquet
The open nose offers incredible scents of sweet plums and cherry juice, as well as wild berries, elderberry jelly, and subtle hints of blackcurrant.
Mouth
Velvety, ticklish and honeyed with hints of liquorice. The spices come back with hints of shortbread cocoa and tannins blend with the nuances of exotic woods. A wine that awakens our most intimate feelings. The impact is fresh and fruity again, this time with nuances of raisins and figs with cinnamon, mid-palate with the incomparable heat of the Montsant, including aromas of gianduja and caramel, an incomparable pleasure even in the unctuous finish. At once powerful and full of finesse, we recognize the signature of René Barbier.
