The 2014 Maison Roy & Fils Incline is a feminine expression of this vintage. It is a selection of our most refined barrels. Aromatically it shows red fruit, dried herbs, and citrus peel. On the palate it has great depth but is light on its feet. This wine should age nicely for 10+ years.

"Brilliant red. Assertive aromas of ripe red fruits, potpourri and five-spice powder take on an exotic incense note as the wine opens up.

A hint of vanilla appears on the long, focused and vibrant finish, which is shaped and given gentle grip by harmonious tannins. - Josh Raynolds"
