Vignobles des Verdots Côtes de Bergerac L'Excellence du Chateau

C: Opaque with garnet rim. N: Plums with kirsch, tobacco & cedar. T: Sweet plums and kirsch cherries balanced with a dry, savoury character, leather and pleasing tannins. Develops a spicy note and silky palate on the mid-palate with apleasing overall finish let down fractionally by a bitter note at the very end. Imp: I really like this wine. It was complex with a well crafted sweet/savoury harmony, opulent yet elegant and freshness balanced with maturity. 89 pts
