TASTING NOTES (by Didier Coutenceau - Oenologist)

Superb clear, straw-coloured robe

Complex bouquet of apricot and quince preserves, smooth, flowery tannins of citrus, tobacco and sweet spices. Beautiful harmony with a full body and structure, velvety, vigorous and long in the mouth. A fine example of its terroir and millessime with excellent potential.
