Chateau de Pennautier Cabardes Bottle:1 This very ripeDark brick colour with garnet highlights. Nice, very typical nose with a bouquet of candied fruit, cooked prunes, notes of thyme, rosemary, dry scrubland and old leather. Good balance on a full bodied wine, full and vinous, frank with a nice character well signed with a hint of liquorice and cocoa which adds to the aromas of the nose.
