Notes

Very dark, inky even, with a purple rim. Stunning concentration on the nose, with perfumed cassis fruit; very fine tannins on the palate, harmonious fruit character, grippy on entry, great balance and length. Another Vauthier success in 2006.

Notes

Bright red-ruby. Vibrant nose offers blackberry, licorice, mint and minerals. Juicy, penetrating dark berry and crushed rock flavors lifted by violet. Pure and sweet, with firm acids and calcaire energy contributing grip and clarity. The tannins are firm but not hard. An excellent, ageworthy vintage for this Alain Vauthier property, which faces his Chateau Ausone.
