Wine Expert Note:

In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby color with purple hues, indicating its youthfulness. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, accompanied by hints of dried herbs and spices. These aromas are further enhanced by subtle notes of vanilla and oak, which result from the wine's aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, the Chapelle De Maillac reveals a medium to full body, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The ripe fruit flavors found on the nose are beautifully integrated, offering a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity. The wine's well-structured backbone ensures a long and satisfying finish, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruits and a touch of earthiness.
