The 'Cuvèe Prestige' is an absolutely sensational showing in this vintage and appears to be the finest example of this cuvèe to date. This instantly impresses with its dark ruby color, followed up by inviting aromatics of black cherries, blackberries and cassis, which are accented by nuances of exotic spices, floral, black olive and hints of licorice all soaring from the glass. On the palate this is full-bodied and remarkably well structured with an impressive muscular core. It continues to impress with its outstanding overall depth and concentration as ripe dark fruits persist through the ultra-long finish. This displays a striking combination of power and sophistication, which make it extremely compelling right now, however it also has the potential for a long, graceful evolution.
