Great Taste are highly regarded seals of approval, a way to get honest, direct and unbiased feedback from chefs, buyers, food writers and retailers.

The color is dark red, the aroma of cherries in chocolate supplemented with vanilla and tobacco, the taste is full of stone fruit, almond kernels and with a sweet finish.”
Fortified with Calvados, matured for 10 years in an oak barrel. Heavy full port type.
It is a big challenge for every winery to create a custom-made wine for a private customer. We made this cuveé to order for friends from the Vir Fortis historical fencing group.
Bottled in Bord. Grand Cru bottles, DIAM 10 corks.
Only a few dozen bottles released for sale. So far, no one has managed to decipher the legend and collect the reward.
