2003 Essence de Dourthe, Bordeaux

Description

Sexy,silky and sumptuous! What a truly glorious find this is. A beautifully hand crafted and blended wine from the oldest vines and best terroir of several vineyards. Only made in tiny quantities of approximately 500 cases. Blended to taste of Bordeaux and not of any commune in particular its a real wine makers and drinkers dream. Gracefully concentrated with multiple layers of ripe and succulent red and black fruit with one of the longest finishes I have tasted. Competing in quality with wines ten times its price this will give immense satisfaction to its quaffers . A total joy!
