Intense purple red color. The bouquet shows hints of violet, then an explosion of black fruit (black cherry, blackcurrant) combined with black pepper hints. The palate is marked by the attack that gives away to a nice evolution on the fruit in a consistent set and the finish is raised by the spicy notes.

Heritage

It was in 1725 that Irishman Thomas Barton settled in Bordeaux to start his company, which is today the city’s oldest winehouse still in activity… His grandson Hugh teamed up with Frenchman Daniel Guestier and in 1802 their partnership became official. From the Chartrons area in the center of Bordeaux, barrels and bottles were loaded on board of ships that sailed via the Garonne river to numerous countries, starting with Ireland, England, Holland and the USA to reach over 130 countries at present.
