Madame Château de Pitray :
The top cuvée from this admirable property : 75% Merlot,
23% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec. Notably dark, purplish Crimson. Already rather well
integrated nose (from a sample taken 10 days ago and sent accross the Channel). Very
spicy. Pretty dry finish but obviously appetising and velvetty. Drink 2020
