Tasting notes

Brownish, brick-red colour. The nose shows cedarwood, stable, light floral notes and blackcurrant. Much old woody notes. Some complexity. Fullbodied Gruaud-Larose in the mouth. Quite a lot of fruit. Almost fleshy. Lightly complex fruit. Quite old-fashioned with a bit of obvious woodyness. Good acidity, almost citrusy towards the end. Not much tannins in the back. Fine Gruaus-Larose that lacks a little bit of depth. More monolithic and old-fashioned.
