SES HEREVES 2005

Attractive medium-deep garnet red, with a deep morello cherry tinge.  Clear and bright.

Clean, intense but highly complex aroma with damp earthy overtones and a hint of balsam and spices.  Well blended aromas of wood (liquorice, tobacco and sandal) in harmony with hints of ripe fruit (bilberry and blackberry), which make up a harmonious, balanced and concentrated nose.

Gentle attack on the palate, then powerful and meaty, with an elegant feeling of tannin.  Good balance between body and acidity; intensely rich in flavour with  matured phenols that give a long, lively and well-extracted aftertaste.
