ABOUT THE PLACE-DIT
A very long aging wine that gains in elegance and complexity with a few years in bottle after 20 or 30 years when the wines are at their peak, in their prime.
In the first years, the aromas of the wines have little aromatic intensity with hints of slightly overripe dried fruits. The carnal and generous mouth is underlined by a very nice fine acidity and all in persistence.
With a few years in the bottle, the intensity of the aromas is revealed in subtlety through notes of infusion of yellow fruit tea that continue in the mouth. The power and generosity of the aromas on the palate amaze the taste buds. This sensation of salinity associated with noble bitters is made more complex by a very nice acidity. The breadth and the extraordinary persistence of these acidities give the Brandhurst wines an digestible and saline aspect despite the strong natural richness of sugars. This masculine wine, in its youth, acquires feminine notes over time.
