    Tasting notes

    Appearance

    Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.

    Aroma

    The bouquet consists of black and red fruits, roasting, licorice and leather.

    Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Spicy

    Taste

    The Pauillacs are vigorous and tannic, which softens with age which allows the tannins to melt and give a nice and round structure.

    Nothing, nothing, non-existent wine that went down the drain! Expensive label! We're not far from a scam...
