licorice and tobacco aromas and flavors

A little hard on the tannins

This also possesses relatively fine-grained tannins though there is notably more size

This insanely beautiful wine boasts a breathtaking bouquet

Carruades Lafite Size:3x3L licorice and tobacco aromas andMedium red ruby. Currant, cherry and licorice aromas complicated by cooler notes of tobacco leaf, menthol and fresh herbs. The palate offers limited sweetness, with the distinctly green element giving the wine a slightly tart impression. Offers only modest density and length, but I liked its almost sangiovese like floral quality. Stephen Tanzer
