Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

"Easily recognizable for its beautiful purple colour and typical aromas of violet and musk. Ample and round on the palate. Long aftertaste, with intense fruit".

Vintage

The wines show a nice deep colour as well as a solid tannic structure . The bouquet is also intense with notes of ripe red fruits. It is a great vintage.
