Producer tasting notes: "Eye : Ruby red with red vermillion tints. Nose : Small red fruits, blackberry and floral violet aromas.Intensely aromatic, powerful but full of finesse. Palate : Supple with balance between the finesse of the aromas and an explosive richness due to the concentration of the wine. Greatly expressive of the terroir. Overall : A feminine wine with voluptuous silky texture and intense aromas." - E. Guigal
