The tasting

Colour
A beautiful inky colour with blue highlights.

Nose
An intense expression, with a concentration of spices (pepper, 4 bays, saffron) evolving into a fleshy and fragrant black fig. When stirred, the wine reveals depth and aromatic amplitude as well as notes of burlat cherry and cedar of Lebanon, conveying a very fresh touch.

Palate
The palate has a straight entry and the acidity gives the wine a dynamic sapidity. Remarkable for its freshness and aromatic richness, this Lalande de Pomerol wine seduces with its precision, volume, balance, power and elegance. The finish is fruity and persistent.
