A delicious wine with fine structure. On the palate, the wine is generous, with lots of ripe, almost extractive berry-cassis fruit and ripe, chewy tannins. A rich, delicious wine with fine depth of flavor, good acidity and medium tannins. Wonderfully aromatic wine offering scents of vanilla, freshly cracked black pepper, intense black fruits, cinnamon spice and smoky oak. Smooth and rich in the mouth offering almost jammy black fruits, a certain meatiness and peppery spice.
Medium tannins frame the flavors, which linger in the finish.
Sweet, although not too deep, berry fruit is accented by mint and violets. Short, eucalyptus-like finish. Smooth, rich and generous in the mouth with ripe, jammy berry fruit, green olive herbaceousness and a hint of black pepper. A complex and delicious wine with ripe, medium tannins. Two percent Viognier was added to the blend in fine French tradition.
