Château Olivier was thus able to optimise the aromatic potential of each grape variety by harvesting on a case by case basis – plot by plot, row by row... Thisyear, the grapes were only picked in the mornings. This maintained thefreshness required for them to conserve their best aromas. An intense, brilliant deep ruby colour. Some hints of ageing. 

A fine, generous bouquet revealing a strong concentration of dark berries such as blackcurrant or blackberry. Everything is softened, deep and rich. The bouquet remains reserved, with a bold, generous and sensual attack on the palate. The mid-palate is voluptuous and fleshy. It is nicely concentrated, with well-defined sapidity. This gives it a balanced and powerful effect with great ageing potential. Very generous, with a fleshiness accompanied by a discreet but necessary acidity. The very elegant tannins are well integrated. The finish is long and still tight.
