CHATEAU PLANTEY
CHATEAU PLANTEY - Pauillac, Bordeaux, FRANCE - 2012
Equal blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, from 30 years old vines. Beautiful dark and intense colour. The bouquet matches red fruits, blackberry and spices aromas. The palate reveals the same flavours, enhanced by a great length and extension, supplemented with dense and well-integrated tannins.
