Château de Panigon Médoc 2016

Rich, silky wine with a deep, crimson hue, boasting a luxurious garnet rim. The nose is noted for by a aroma of ripe, juicy cherries, succulent raspberries, and gentle rose petals, with a soft note of warm spices and a touch of sweetness. The tongue is equally impressive, with a balanced blend of retronasal notes and a enjoyable finish, featuring a delightful seamlessness of white pepper and tannic complexity. The comprehensively impression is one of a sumptuous, full-bodied wine with a rich, satisfying tactile quality and a long, pleasing finish. A truly stellar offering, uniquely in the context of my limited Bordeaux experience.

The nose is a rich, evolved mix of marionberry, deep ripe black cherry, and earthy undertones, with a dash of oak and mushroom. The flavor profile is similarly layered, with suggestions of black cherry, raspberry, plum, and a elegant tannin presence, even by oak, earth, sage, and a touch of flint. The close is long and satisfying, with a dry, rustic quality that suggests a mature, full-bodied wine.

Rich and supple Bordeaux Sunday tasting awaits. This 50/45/5 Merlot/CS/PV Médoc blend is expertly crafted with a cohesive balance of earthy and fruity notes.
