vibrant palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin

cigar box and bright red fruits with a blast of cassis in the finish

fruitcake and sandalwood over a core of preserved plums

Not really my style of wine, it feels cloying after a while. I much prefer the 2010 La Gaffelire that I tasted the week previously. Tasted
