"GOLD MEDAL GILBERT & GAILLARD 2015
The wood aging and the fruit tannins are integrating well, giving a wine that is bright, packed with fruit, that will age well over the medium term. The cuvée undergoes elevage in a combination of 40% barrel and 60% in vat.
The wine has a complex aroma woven from notes of blueberry, blueberry, blackberry and dark fig, harmoniously accentuated with hints of cinnamon and coriander, caramel, vanilla and cocoa. On the palate it is full, complex, rich, velvety, with rich fruit tones, silky tannins, ending with a long-sounding finish with a mineral hue."
