Tasting Notes
Musky, sultry nose on this Bordelaise staple by Christian Moueix. The palate is peppery, sweaty, floral and vibrant. Quite appealing for the price point. Medium to full bodied with balanced alcohol, generous fruit and integrated tannins. The finish delivers some curious soapy, salty notes along with wood spice. Tasted August 2012. Score - 89.
