Lalande de Pomerol, Libourne, Bordeaux, FranceSpicy, waxy, tobacco, peppery, cherry jam, rootsy aromas with a whiff of game and saddle leather. Dry, round, elegant style but a touch lean. Tobacco leaf, peppery, orange rind, minty, cedar and black olive flavours with some resin and chocolate on the finish. A touch green but is supple and elegant.
