AOP COTES DE BOURG HIPSTER DU CHATEAU DE BARBE 2020

An open nose, with notes of sweet spices and prune: this 2016 Château Barbe Côtes de Bourg Hipster is a charmer. The palate is fleshy and velvety, the tannins are well-integrated, and the finish confirms the nose. A lot of sweetness in its beard, ultimately.
