Château Le Virou – Sublimus – 2016
Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux
France,
Bordeaux,
Inky dark core with a purple hue. Modern nose offering roasted new oak and inky dark fruit with blackberry, cassis and allspice. The palate is dense and concentrated with high extract, youthful but ripe tannin, layers of dark fresh fruit with some toast and oak notes. Long, vigorous and lingering finish. An ambitious wine still needing a few years to show its full potential.
