Color
Covered cherry red with purple brightenings towards the rim.
Nose
The 2011 Château de Falfas le Chevalier presents itself with brilliant aromas that remind of liquid dark chocolate, mon cherie, candied lavender, wood smoke and freshly ground black pepper. Roasted thyme, rosemary and juniper are also part of the game. Already in the nose it succeeds to unite strength and charm in a skilful way.
Palate
When tasting the 2011 Château de Falfas le Chevalier, you will find a wine that reflects the maturity and warmth of the 2011 vintage. It offers opulent dark fruit and chocolaty hints, but at the same time power and finesse. Its tannin is softened by the abundance of fruit, but still shows youthful demands in the finish and promises very good aging potential. Strong dishes with dark meat, gladly also braised are trump in the combination.
