Deep ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, faint brightening on rim. Fresh wild berries, blackberry, blueberry and cassis, Delicate herbal savouriness, tobacco nuances. Medium body, red berry fruit, freshly structured, ripe tannins, salty finish, versatile food wine.
Medium-bodied, chewy, fresh and fruity, with a nice core of ripe cassis on the nose and palate, this is perfect for enjoying in cafes and bistros. This should drink quite well on release and over the next decade. This solid value wine offers a lot of Left Bank character, and it sells for a song.
