Merchant's description

Anthonic 1996 is a mature Cru Bourgeois red wine from the Moulis-en-Médoc region. Owned by the Cordonnier family since 1977, the vineyard benefits from clay, limestone and gravel soils. This vintage showcases a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Over time, it has developed complex tertiary aromas of leather and spice while maintaining a backbone of well-integrated tannins.
