Château L'Argenteyre - C.B. | Médoc AOC Merlot - Cabernet - Petit Verdot
Red wine | France, MEDOC-HAUT-MEDOC | 2019
A beautiful ruby red with purplish reflections, this 2019 seduces with its bouquet of blackcurrant and raspberry enhanced with vanilla nuances denoting ageing in quality oak. Ample on the attack, the tannins gradually emerging to reveal a balanced, mouthfillingly rich mid-palate, the result of beautifully ripened grapes. Long, aromatic finish. A typical, harmonious Médoc.
