Chateau La Gurgue, Margaux 2012, 750ml

TASTING NOTES The vintage has given a wine with freshness, fruit and finesse. With aromas of red berries, cassis and cherry, that we also found in the mouth. The persistence is generous. The wine is voluptuous, structured with fine tannins. With balance and elegance, it’s a beautiful classic of Margaux.
