Deep ruby/purple color in addition to a gorgeous nose of black fruits, spring flowers, licorice, incense, lavender, and grilled Provencal herbs.   On the palate, the wine is rich, revealing intense licorice-like flavors.  Full-bodied.

The stunningly deep color and a lush nose of Chateau de Candale give way to a wine of superb  Intensity.  A nose-filling aroma of strawberries, cinnamon and oak. 

Rich, concentrated dark fruit flavors combine with velvety tannins for extraordinary balance and a lingering, complex finish.

Drinking wines from this appellation, situated so close to Pomerol is a great way to get some great left bank Merlot, without paying Pomerol prices.  Minerals, iron, dark chocolate, strawberry and cherry fruit are complex and unfold in layers.  The finish is soft and elegant.
