Château Puy Guilhem
Cuvée Tradition
2017
TASTING NOTE
Very much brighter and more vivid on the nose, this is a more open wine at this point in its evolution and so it is ahead of the other cuvée in terms of fruit expression. The oak and tannin are similar and this means that it will still require some more time to settle down, but this is another example of a wine which will mellow swiftly into a nicely weighted claret.
