The ‘420 Nuits’ from Alain Paret is named after the aging process where it spends 420 days in new French oak barrels. The wine itself is actually 100% Serine, which is an ancestor of Syrah and releases aromas of fresh black raspberries, dark chocolate, tobacco, leather, herbs, vanilla and lavender. It is tightly wound with firm tannins and a racy core of dark fruit. This will benefit from short-term cellaring or at the very least, a few hours or air. (Best 2017-2026) - March, 2015 (JD)
