Calmel & Joseph Caramany 'La Folie Douce'

Deep red veering towards garnet. Superb intensity on the nose with subtly oaky notes intertwined with black fruit such as black fig and blackberry, but also coconut, vanilla, and mocha, with a spicy finish of black pepper, licquorice, laurel and a hint of peat. Powerful and creamy in the mouth with smooth, supple, well-integrated tannins. It opens with fruity aromas like blackcurrant, moving to vanilla pod, cacao, dried fig and truffle and rich buttery notes. This is a dazzling vintage in which the altitude of this terroir has found magnificent expression, giving a verticality to this wine that promises very great cellaring potential.
