This extremely fruity cuvée with well-integrated tannins and noble oak aroma has a lot of power and complexity and creates a lot of joy at a young age, but also has an aging potential.
On the palate, the Big Easy is well structured,complex and reveals aromas of chocolate, spices and sweet cherries.
