"We were stunned. From François Mitjavile of Tertre Rôteboeuf, this is the perfect ... and we mean perfect ...ready to drink Bordeaux from a rock star name in Bordeaux. Grab this by the bottle and pop it when you have a special occasion coming up this year or next. Great complexity and structure (especially considering the vintage). Provides incredible, immediate pleasure. Outstanding."
Product Description:
"This superstar of the Cotes de Bourg appellation, owned by Francois Mitjavile, is situated at the hillsides base next door to celebrated growths in Bordeaux.
Boasts a dense purple color as well as a big seductive bouquet of melted chocolate, licorice, dried fruit, currants, smoke, and black cherry fruit. Great black pepper, tobacco and cedar in the mid-palate. Flashy, seductive, & medium-bodied, w/ loads of ripeness in addition to a plush texture. At over 8 years in the bottle, this is starting to show the WOW factor of aged Bordeaux. Stunning wine that has at least another 5 years of life.
Enjoy this true gem!" Importer
