NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Aromas of dark cherry, cranberry and blackberry mingle with fresh herbs and a hint of tobacco.The palate is medium-bodied and firm, with good acidity and a touch of cedar framing the dark fruit. The tannins are well integrated and the finish is long, lingering and earthy. Overall, this is an outstanding Listrac-Médoc, with a great balance of fruit and structure.
