$118
Tank sample. Light to mid crimson. Even more seductive in aroma than the Chassagne rouge. Fabulous scent – sweet (but not excessively so), very pure. On the palate, deep, mouth-watering fruit, a touch of oak spice and a firm but smooth tannin texture. 16.5 Julia Harding MW (For Jancis Robinson).
