Chateau Haut Ballet, Lalande de Pomerol 2011

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

The nose is powerful and aromatic. It reveals notes of ripe fruit, leather and slight notes of truffle and undergrowth combined with a hint of chocolate. The palate is fresh, balanced, structured, relatively complex, suave, frank and a bit creamy. In the mouth it expresses notes of crushed strawberry, wild strawberry and blackberry associated with small woody notes, a few notes of spices and a hint of chocolate. The tannins are elegant and slightly firm. Good length.
