Winemaking Notes: The fruit for this wine comes from two vineyard plots: La Cabane and La Gravette. Grapes are manually harvested and manually sorted. Wine ages for 14 months in French oak barrels, 1/3 of which were new.
Tasting Notes: In the glass, the Alios red Bordeaux exudes an intense bouquet of black fruit (plum and blackcurrant), cedar and toasted notes. On the palate, it is ample and generous with round tannins that are both silky and elegant. The finish is long and seductive. The aging potential is between 3-10 years.
