2015 | Dourthe | Essence de Dourthe

Fabulous aromas of blackberries, blueberries, cinnamon, and perfume. Full-bodied, tight and explosive. Pulls back on the palate and then releases. A wine with complexity, depth and excitement.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Fabulous aromas of blackberries, blueberries, cinnamon, and perfume. Full-bodied, tight and explosive. Pulls back on the palate and then releases. A wine with complexity, depth and excitement. A blend of best wines from Belgrave, La Garde, Le Boscq and Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac. Only made in selected vintages. 6,000 bottles. A structured red for long-term aging yet balanced and beautiful.
