a scent of white fruit

This is soft

we would certainly have chosen Riesling and not Chardonnay

This firmly structured wine with its high percentage of Merlot is powerful and dense

Blackberry and blueberry aromas with black licorice and dark violets that follow to a medium to full body with ultra fine tannins and a pretty finish

Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, France 2016 Treviso Prosecco a scent of white fruitA neoclassical edition of Grand Puy Lacoste, this has cedar, graphite, deeply integrated cedar and spicy oak influence and a very fresh array of ripe blackberries, dark cherries and cassis. The palate is so seamless. It builds beautifully and delivers a long, seamless array of perfectly ripe dark fruit, swathed in fine, firm, ascending layers of tannins. As good as we have seen in recent vintages, this is a star of the vintage. 97 Pts James Suckling
