La Tour Figeac - 2001 (750ml) Size:750ml Wine tasting: nose with aromasThe finest wine yet made by this estate run by Stephane Derenoncourts wife, Christine, this blend of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc tips the scales at 14+% alcohol. It exhibits copious aromas of blueberries, raspberries, asphalt, truffles, charcoal and a hint of graphite.
