Bouteille. Noire. Au nez comme en bouche: chocolat noir, torréfaction et figues. La douché est un peu aqueuse, donnant une impression de dilution. Tout de même très bonne.

Bottle. Very dark colour with a minimal head. Dry and burnt flavour dominate before a glimmer of sour fruit. Too much roast obscuring any latent complexities.
