TASTING NOTES
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it wafts out of the glass with compelling floral notes of dried roses and lavender over a core of Morello cherries, juicy plums, fresh blackberries and black raspberries. Full-bodied, the palate is completely coated and black and red fruit preserves flavors, supported by fine-grained tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and fragrant.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate.
Complex nose of red fruit, berries and wood, together with a floral note. It’s a full-bodied red with firm texture. Succulent and structured. The tannins are firm and lead to a long, savory finish. Lots of earth, spice, pine needle and chocolate to the currant-fruit character.
James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com
A blend from both the Les Pavots and Au Paradis properties. It is also a terrific introduction to the Bordeaux reds at Peter Michael. A high percentage of Franc gives the wine striking aromatic presence and tons of nuance. This classy, racy red is a winner.
Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
