Tasting Notes:
“ What a difference a year makes! 2012 L’Essentiel is a fragrant, open, floral wine without the huge tannins often found in this wine. The fruit is calm and silky and the overall dimensions of the flavour are more tender and medium- weight than one finds in the warmer vintages. Nearly drinking this is a fragrant, complex wine built around a heart of bright acidity as opposed to firm tannin. ”
