Vintage 2010

Written Notes

TASTINGNOTE Underbart djup, sammetslen, perfekt balanserad smak och tanniner. Fint balanserat medellångt fylligt vin, medelkoncentreration, med livligt definierad syra och, finkorniga tanniner. Finstämd söt (Merlot) björnbär- och blåbärsfrukt i doften och lätt mineralitet. Lång och elegant, med en särskilt tilltalande yppig stil snarare än ett pampigt intryck, som så ofta, lite mer kött (pga Merlot) än d'Armailhac. Ett exakt uttryck för denna exceptionella årgång. Ett samlarvin. MOGNAD 2017–30.
