2016 Chateau La Chappelle aux Moines Grand Cru Bordeaux

Beautiful red deep color. The nose shows fine notes of red fruits. The wine offers delicate oak aromas that are powerful and well-engrained. On the palate, the wine is elegant thanks to silky yet racy tannins. The wine has a long finish with a nice balance between the toasty oak and fruit notes.
