La Fleur de Bouard, Lalande de Pomerol 2009

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: A deep, rich ruby color with a garnet edge, indicating its maturity and concentration.
• Aroma: The nose opens with expressive aromas of ripe black fruits, such as black cherries and plums, layered with hints of cedar, cocoa, and spices. As it evolves in the glass, more complex aromas of truffle, leather, and earthy undertones emerge.
• Palate: On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and lush, with flavors of dark berries, blackcurrants, and a touch of mocha. The tannins are refined and velvety, offering a smooth mouthfeel. A delicate minerality and well-integrated oak enhance the wine’s depth, leading to a long, elegant finish.
