The 2012 Le Plantey vintage has a deep ruby color that promises beautiful concentration. The complex, distinguished bouquet reveals intense aromas of ripe grapes, red fruit jam, toast, and spices, complemented by a hint of undergrowth. On the palate, the beautiful texture, supported by intense, mellow tannins and enhanced by a lovely freshness, offers a generous, indulgent balance. Remarkable value for money!
