Koyle Carmenere Royale 2012 brand_Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou but never left his rootsThe 2012 vintage of Koyle Royale Carmenere has an intense violet color, with pure, clean aromas coming from the forest surrounding the vineyards, with a touch of spiciness and herbal notes. On the palate, it is juicy and smooth, with firm, velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish that is influenced by the addition of Petite Verdot into the final blend. The wine can be cellared for up to ten years,and decanted up to 30 minutes before serving.
