Tasting notes:
Walldeaux Smithie is bold and juicy with a firm structure. The full
flavors and smooth tannins suggest a new world wine while its focus and
balance, dark fruit and spice flavors are definitely reminiscent of old
world Bordeaux.
Marie says: Walldeaux is a non-vintage blend for more consistency
and density. Blending vintages allows a full tasting experience with
complex layers from the "older" vintage (2005), combining with fruity,
youthful and juicy mouth filling flavors from the "younger" vintage
(2006). I truly enjoy the fruit intensity of the 'everyday French
wines', usually a wine of the year aged a short time in stainless tanks
or used barrels. These bright yet simple young flavors complete
deliciously more polished, refined characteristics from the previous
vintage. |
