This Château Amour 2016 has an intense ruby hue with violet highlights. The aromatic range is complex, opening with notes of raspberry and cherry supported by delicate scents of roasting. The finish is remarkably long-lasting, and the tasting concludes with an impression of balance and suppleness typical of this high-quality vintage. The purity of the fruit, the beauty of the vintage - it's a real charm !
