A true favourite with this cuvée from Château Tire-Pé
A blend of Castets and Mancin planted on a superb clay-limestone parcel with excellent sun exposure.
On the nose, notes of red fruit with surprising hints of freshly ground pepper. On the palate, beautifully silky, very pleasant tannins. No harshness whatsoever, pure delight. Magnificent balance. Aged in amphora.
Hats off to the artist!
