2000 Château La Prade, Côtes de Francs
Bright and youthful in appearance with a pure, elegant nose of cassis and sweet berry fruit. Oak maturation has given a creamy, toasty edge to the nose. The palate is focused with dark berry fruit and a herbaceous, leafy character. The tannins and acidity are well balanced and integrated into the wine, making this approachable soon. This is a well-made wine, as one would expect from the Thienpont family.
