A medium-bodied red with notes of black cherry licorice, strawberry, and a hint of leather, this one could use some time in a decanter. Delicious now, but totally cellar-worthy.

As the name ("fougue" translates as 'ardor') indicates, this is a wine with impact, with cherry florality on the nose and notes of stonefruit and lemon curd on the palate, and an almond-y finish. Like some passions, this one needs time: open a day in advance for its full expression.
