Tutiac

Region: France, Bordeaux, Medoc

Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot

Tasting notes: Very good intensity of colour. Ripe fruit on the nose, with intense grilled and cocoa oaky notes. Rich palate with good structure and well-integrated tannins that soften after several years. A wine with ageing potential.

Black garnet colour. Interesting, rustic aromas of blueberry jam, barnyard, lilac, dark chocolate, coffee, eucalyptus, and cola with a lightly tannic, lively, dry-yet-fruity full body and a complex, long sandalwood, clove, and sesame finish with firm tannins and moderate oak flavour. A soulful, rustic Medoc that is a true charmer.

Region: France, Bordeaux
