round and supple

This 2016 Château Amour boasts a fairly intense ruby hue with violet highlights. The aromatic profile is complex, opening with notes of raspberry and cherry underpinned by delicate roasted aromas. The finish is remarkably long-lasting, and the tasting concludes with a sense of balance and suppleness typical of this high-quality vintage. Pure fruit, the beauty of the vintage— utterly charming!
