Top Notes For
Al Shikoh

* appearance: medium ruby core with slightly amber rim
* aromas: red cherry, strawberry, cinnamon, cloves, red roses, hints of damp earth
* palate: red fruit, minerality
* structure: high acidity, medium+ tannin/silky, 13% ABV
* finish: tart with silky tannin
* winemaking: made under his own negociant label separate from the family domaine “Domaine des Comtes Lafon” although almost all fruit comes from vineyards he owns or has contract to farm
* recommendation: very nice villages level wine, drinking well now
* cost: $80
