Puisseguin-Saint-Emilion|Red wine

3.2/5 (5 customers)

Notes: Guide Hachette 2**" Coup de Coeur," Gold Medal at the 2008 Paris General Agricultural Competition
"The nearly black color shines brilliantly; the rich and complex aromas evoke black and red fruits, spices, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is round and full-bodied, with tannins that develop with great power, liveliness, and aromatic persistence. Guaranteed enjoyment with a nice ribeye steak..." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010)
