Merchant's description
An elegant Pomerol from Château La Violette offering up an exquisite 100% Merlot from the small 1.6ha estate, here is a wine that will continue to age in bottle. As respected wine critic James Suckling puts it, "The nose is floral at first, showing violets and notes of graphite, spice and smoke. Complex and deep. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a gorgeous, velvety texture, elegant tannins and a clean, savoury and very long finish." Sold in glorious magnum format.
