Château Auris – 2012 – Corbières

Fresh nose, youthful with primary fruit, no evident oak, quite sweet and ripe fruit. There’s a hint of herbal spiciness here, sweet plum, red cherry. Quite polished on the palate without any presence of extract, rather with a rounded texture, with juicy supple fruit. Quite ripe and warm style but still with a balanced freshness, no evidence of oak; I would call it medium weight and length.

Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
