Characteristics and tasting advice for Château de Myrat 1997
Tasting
Color
Its pale yellow color with amber reflections reveals a clear and bright wine.
Nose
The nose, of great complexity, opens with subtle aromas of linden, acacia honey, gingerbread, and nutmeg.
Palate
The palate is seduced by its roundness and silky texture, developing flavors of candied fruit and dried apricots in the finish. This vintage, with its finesse and balance, stands out for its delicate and feminine character. The whole, ample and generous, ends on a spicy finish dominated by ginger and orange zest.
