Berthaut-Gerbet, Fixin Crais Size:12x750ml This is perhaps the richest

This is perhaps the richest wine among these 1ers with good volume and punch on the austere and markedly firm but not aggressive finish

with loads of crème de cassis fruit

Given how precocious it seems just nowit certainly won't make your mouth turn immediately to cotton and your tongue seize upthe fruit is so good that some will dare to drink it now

The slightly bigger and richer medium bodied flavors possess a seductive mouthfeel before concluding in a palate coating and lightly mineral inflected finish that is better balanced.
