Tasting

Banyuls Ambré Roumani Doré:

Mouth: Gourmet and elegant; dried fruits (apricots, dates) mix with medlar.

Banyuls Rimage Early Release:
Color: Bright cherry red.

Mouth: Smooth and structured on the purity of the fruit, freshness and deliciousness are there.

Banyuls Traditional Old Reserve:
Color: Orange-red with tiled reflections.
Nose: Combination of red fruit and notes of roasting, prune and currant.
