Tasting notes

Light brownish colour. Lightly earthy nose. Shy. Some hint of lead-pencil and stable. Thin Gruaud-Larose in the mouth. Very little fruit and very little concentration. The thinnest of them all. But no oxidation. Low acid and little tannins. The best thing to say about this is that the balance is nice. Just very little of everything.
