Merchant's description

Intense ruby with a bright garnet hue. Initially fresh, intense and complex on the nose, a bouquet with great finesse that combines red fruits, spices and violet. With further aeration these are accentuated by some fresh mineral, cacao and leather undertones. The palate is well balanced and suave thanks to the fine tannic texture which greatly contributes to the freshness and overall elegance of this lovely wines; rich, juicy and radiant with aromas of pure fruit. The finish is harmonious and long, opulent and full. A wine that is easy to fall in love with and to enjoy because of its richness and complexity. Chateau Canon-Chaigneau
