Tasting Notes for 1998 Comte Georges de Vogüé Les Amoureuses

The wine opens with mature aromas of dried black cherry, sous-bois, dried rose petals, leather, and black truffle. Furthermore, nuanced notes of iron minerality, black tea, and warming spices unfold with aeration. On the palate, silky, fully resolved tannins frame a savory mid-palate of dried dark berries.
