Chateau Serilhan, Saint-Estephe, France 2016 Tupungato violets and cloves

violets and cloves

and the wine matures in well-seasoned

very tight and focused with very fine tannins that are strong and bright

After a few years of aging

the aromas of red fruit and some floral and spicy touches are dominant

Chateau Serilhan, Saint-Estephe, France 2016 Tupungato violets and clovesThe 2016 Serilhan is a treat. It has a gorgeous, beautifully defined bouquet with blackberry, cigar box and smoky aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium bodied with succulent black and red fruit, very fine tannin, a veneer of quality new oak but with more than sufficient fruit underneath and a long sensual finish. 93 Pts Robert Parker
