Singular Negre

Tasting Note

In the glass, it displays an imposing and stately presence, showing an intense, dark cherry red color with a high coat, beautifully enhanced by vibrant garnet and violet reflections on the rim that reveal its geological concentration and optimal maturity. The nose unfolds into a complex, deep, and crystal-clear aromatic symphony, where ripe black fruits—such as wild blackberries, blackcurrants, and dark plums—take an exuberant first place. Immediately, the Bages character and the grape's true typicity emerge harmoniously through notes of roasted green bell pepper, sweet spices, black peppercorn, pure cocoa, ground coffee beans, and a subtle balsamic background dominated by licorice, wild thyme, and hints of wet stone. On the palate, it is pure expressiveness, volume, and structural richness. The entry is powerful and sharply defined, driven by an extraordinarily velvety mouthfeel thanks to firm yet mature and polished tannins that coat the palate without any heaviness. The acidity is electric, crisp, and perfectly integrated, guiding the wine toward an impeccable balance between fruit power and noble oak toast. The finish is remarkably long, deeply mineral, and highly persistent, leaving a warm trail of smoky accents and dark berry jam that captivates the senses.
