FRANCOIS LURTON PIEDRA NEGRA |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, complex, faintly smoky, ripe plum-cherry nose with lots of cedary sandalwood notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, dense, harmonious, intense, slightly spicy, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, gently spicy, fairly high acid finish.
