2017 Skin Bailly

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle edge brightening, delicate heart cherries, dark wild berry fruit, subtle precious wood spice, still very restrained, floral notes, some licorice in the background. Juicy, highly elegant, finesse-rich structure, fine, well-integrated tannins, pleasant extract sweetness, salty minerality, remains persistent, secure ageing potential.
