Tasting Notes:
Château Magnol 2019 boasts a deep, brilliant cherry red colour with violet highlights. The nose is rich and expressive, featuring a complex blend of blackberries, blackcurrants, and black cherries, harmoniously balanced with spicy and minty undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied, elegant, and well-balanced, with ripe tannins that offer a smooth texture. The aftertaste is rich and aromatic, with lingering notes of fruit, spice, vanilla, and liquorice, creating a truly memorable finish. This wine pairs excellently with red meats and ripe cheeses.
