"A red wine with a rather dense robe; the body is ruby, but the leg indicates a certain evolution. The nose is expressive, with a nice "spicy" touch; I feel notes of leather, tobacco, dry spices. The wine remains as fruity as ever, almost with a slightly sweet sensation. The aromas are ripe, with notes of sweet plum and sweet red berries. There is a hint of oak but well integrated and a slight roasted side. Full and supple on the palate; the tannins are well softened. I find this sweet fruity character, with plum, red berry notes, and a pinch more of that spice box. Fairly round and smooth in texture. Of a beautiful complexity, we find these persistent flavours in the finish. "Andreas Larsson, Best Sommelier of the World 2007.
The word of the Winemaker, Tristan Bouscasse :
This is THE "confidential" cuvée par excellence, produced by an "out of the ordinary" vinification: the whole bunches of grapes are tined in micro-vinifiers. Orbite is also distinguished by a different blend for each vintage and we only produce it in the best years.
