Hailing from the prestigious Paulliac appellation of Bordeaux, here is the 2009 vintage. Intense purple red, the nose offers up a heady mix of black and red berries, with floral notes. The palate is powerful and has a good balance between freshness and tannin. The finish is long and voluminous. Here is a vintage with long aging potential. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot.
