This Cru Bourgeois opens with essences of toast, sweet spices, figs and ripe black fruit. The attack on the palate is round, followed by a silky evolution accompanied by tannins well wrapped in flesh, combining volume and very present fruity notes, giving a fine, elegant whole, ending with a long and very aromatic finish. A great success for this 2012!
