The exceptionally rich bigger-bodied flavors brim with sappy dry extract before concluding in a rustic

grainy backbone of very ripe tannins and tons of vivacity

(a monopole of the domaine

pure and airy nose is naturally spicy with its essence of acacia blossom

ripe black plums and warm cassis plus hints of tilled earth

Tourelles De Longueville other_regions_australia The exceptionally rich bigger-bodied flavorsThe 2009 Les Tourelles de Longueville has a lovely, pure bouquet with joyful red cherry and crushed strawberry aromas. The oak is beautifully integrated. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannin, and a fine line of acidity. Fleshy and nicely framed with raspberry and blackberry laced with tobacco and a generous sprinkling of cracked black pepper on the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
