Tasting Notes
Light carmine garnet with fine ruby reflections, broad watery rim. Sweet and well-ripened wild berry fruit on the nose, underlaid with milk caramel, hints of orange zest, Malaga raisins, some plum confit. Highly elegant on the palate, freshly structured, a light-footed, graceful Lafite, perfectly matured, with a cedary, herbal-spicy finish, perhaps just about to pass its peak. ! To drink
