2005 Essence de Dourthe

The very deep robe has violet reflections. Intensity and finesse characterize a complex nose of admirable aromatic freshness, which exudes powerful scents of ripe fruit: red cherries, medlars and blackcurrants, combined with subtle notes of cedar wood and grilled cocoa. In the mouth, the wine initially impresses with its fullness and density, then surprises with its velvety texture. It is a delicate, silky wine characterized by balance, freshness and purity. A very nice acidity supports this great evolution of the tasting towards a finish of exceptional length. Majestic, refined, the essence of Dourthe 2005 is a masterful success in a single vintage.
