Château Olivier Red
Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon 60%
Merlot 40%
Tasting Note
An intense, brilliant deep ruby colour. Some hints of ageing. A fine, generous bouquet revealing a strong concentration of dark berries such as blackcurrant or blackberry. Everything is softened, deep and rich. The bouquet remains reserved, with a bold, generous and sensual attack on the palate. The mid-palate is voluptuous and fleshy. It is nicely concentrated, with well-defined sapidity. This gives it a balanced and powerful effect with great ageing potential.
Very generous, with a fleshiness accompanied by a discreet but necessary acidity. The very elegant tannins are well integrated. The finish is long and still tight.

Pleasant and complex retronasal olfaction with a sensation of candied citrus fruit. This wine is still young.
