Tasting notes

75 cl. Cordier-bottle. Chateau-bottling. Brick-red colour. Highly green cab-dominated nose. Vegetal with hints of herbs and tobacco. Slight floral notes. Medium bodied wine in the mouth. A lighter Gruaud-Larose. Green and herbaceous, but has it's own quality. Fine acidity and quite crisp wine with still the fruit intact. It has evolved a little complexity, but remains mostly vegetal. Light tannins in the back. Drinking fine and and a nice food-wine.
