TASTING NOTES
The fruit of a great Bordeaux vintage, this is a deeply coloured wine with bright red tints. It presents a charmingly expressive bouquet with fine notes of red fruit, cherry and spices highlighted by hints of the typical smoky, flinty taste of the terroir. Balanced, mouthfilling extract is sustained by elegant tannins of remarkable freshness. An easy-to-drink wine which will be a pleasant accompaniment to any festive meal.

TASTING NOTES
Dense, richly coloured wine with deep purple tints at rim. The bouquet is generous with notes of ripe red stoned fruit (cherry and plum) and a somewhat earthy, violet and, cindery flavour which is the hallmark of the terroir. The palate follows suit with a supple, silky attack overlying chewy tannins, enlivened by fine freshness. Definitely a wine for pleasure, great as an aperitif or for enjoying over a relaxed meal with family or friends. Will make a fine match for grilled meats, beef ribs or a variety of cheeses over a meal with family or friends.

TASTING NOTES
Bright red tints highlight the sombre colour of this wine. Its charm lies in the expressive bouquet, with fine notes of red fruits, cherry and spices set off by the typical touch of gunflint supplied by the terroir. In the mouth appears the delicacy of red fruits and notes of spices and undergrowth. The mouthfilling extract is balanced and sustained by elegant tannins which display remarkable freshness. Definitely an easy-to-drink wine which will be a pleasant accompaniment to any festive meal.
