Henri Bonneau CDP Reserve des Celestins 2008 -OC12

red currant

This is at once more elegant and spicier as well with its pretty combination of red currant

Here too the middle weight flavors possess a highly seductive texture thanks to the velvety mouth feel that continues onto the serious

concentrated and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors that are blessed with plenty of dry extract that simultaneously coats the palate and buffers the moderately firm tannic spine

There is good muscle and punch to the broad-shouldered and attractively textured flavors that conclude in a firm and mildly austere finish that delivers excellent persistence

hugely long and impeccably well-balanced finish

There is good volume and concentration to the delicious and vibrant flavors that possess very good mid-palate concentration as well as fine length on the palate coating finish

An exuberantly spicy nose features additional aromas of black cherry

and coffee

The saturated purple/black color is followed by aromas of sweet vanillin intermixed with riveting scents of black currants

There is nothing garish about this subtle yet powerful giant of a wine

It exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue in addition to abundant aromas of smoky oak
