Description
The Bordeaux Vintage from La Tuilerie du Puy boasts a deep, intense garnet-red colour. It offers great aromatic complexity, dominated by spices and hints of violet against a backdrop of candied raspberries. The clay-limestone soils have produced beautifully ripe grapes, yet the attack remains lively and the wine’s overall profile is finely crafted. On the palate, it combines richness with structure; the tannic power does not detract from the wine’s balance.
