Chateau Les Hauts-Conseillants 2018
The very complex aroma mixes spices, floral notes and fresh fruits. This aromatic intensity is supported by the youthful structure: tannins are dense, unctuous and smooth. This wine offers balance, a well-defined frame, and a lot of greed, now and in the future...
Distinctions
"Intense and complex bouquet marked by floral, spicy and fruity notes. The tannins reveal themselves slowly and give a suave touch on the finish. A great success." - Beckustator - Yves Beck
"A dark, reserved wine with notes of wild fruit, smoky black tea, pine thorns. The palate is enveloping, the tannins patinated, the breeding ambitious." - RVF - Pierre Citerne
