Gaillac: Domaine Barreau L'Ancestral Red Cognac

Gaillac: Domaine Barreau L'Ancestral Red CognacTasting Notes A fine ruby colour, and its bouquet suggests sweet pepper, thyme, black pepper, enhanced by hints of ripe, marinated red fruits. Rich, full, generous, spicy, fresh yet mature, the tannic grapes ensure it is wholesome on the tongue.
