Tasting
Beautiful, deep, dark ruby ​​red color. The bouquet is intense, with rich notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, and licorice elegantly paired with hints of vanilla and toast. The smooth attack is a prelude to a rich, full-bodied palate, lingeringly lined with ripe fruit and spices over a well-constructed tannic structure and well-controlled oak. Length, distinction, and good aging potential characterize this Gouverneur.
