Reviews of purchase High Road, Classique, 2015
Tasting Notes
The wine is a deep ruby color with a transparent red rim.
The taste of wine is incredibly soft, creamy, but not without structure. The tones of black berries, vanilla and oak layered on top of each other, forming a complex composition with full, ripe tannins. The sharp hints of pepper in the aftertaste create intrigue and tension, while the confrontation between fruit and wood shades continues.
Seductive shades of blueberries, currants and plums in the aroma of wine are complicated by hints of graphite, dried Mediterranean herbs, vanilla and pepper.
Wine can be enjoyed on your own or with your favorite meat dish.
