2018 Chateau Hyot, Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux, France (750ml)

Product Info

TASTING NOTES:

Tight and firm young wine with tar and berry flavors that follow through to a medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish.
- James Suckling, 91 pts

A ripe and spicy wine, this shows rich tannins and a solid texture. Juicy blackberry jelly flavors lighten the load of richness and shed an attractive light on the wine’s fruitiness. Drink from 2021.
- Wine Enthusiast, 90 pts

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Intense color, ruby reflections, shiny. Nose of black fruit, blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry with toasted notes. Authenticity of the terroir through the tannic structure and fruitiness of the wine. The nature of the sandy-gravelly soil acts as a flavor enhancer and is found in the minerality of this wine.
