TASTING NOTES
The fruit of one of the greatest vintages in the Bordeaux region, Château Robin 2009 is a sumptuous deep red with ruby and deep purple tints. Still in the first flush of youth, the bouquet offers up a generous array of red fruits, blackcurrant, blackberry and cherry. The silky, supple tannins from the Merlot are discernible right from the succulent attack, with a smoothness that provides instantaneous charm. The beautifully fresh finish provides the perfect ending to a perfect tasting for this outstanding vintage!

TASTING NOTES
Superb colour, brooding and brilliant at the same time, with deep garnet tints. Generous bouquet in which spicy aromas are combined with overripe fruit (blackcurrant and plum). Opulent attack, the mid-palate underpinned by velvety tannins and fleshy extract that evolves right to finish, with blackcurrant and blackberry dominating the aromatic back-of-palate. A very fine wine with all the typical characteristics of this terroir where Merlot Noir thrives.

This Château Robin is a beautiful deep garnet hue. The bouquet is intense and many-layered, with aromas of fruit and spices. Smooth, rounded attack, giving way to elegant tannins that impart fine length. A light, fruity wine, as suitable for a festive meal as for a drink with friends.

A brilliant, sustained garnet hue. Generous bouquet of overripe fruit – cassis and other black berried fruits– highlighted by a hint of spice. The front-of-palate is smooth and elegant, revealing moderate tannins and crunchy extract imparting length and balance. Delicious return of fruit on the finish.
