Detailed info

May-Eliane de Lencquesaing modernized the Glenelly estate after spending 30 years at the head of the famous Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande of Pauillac. Her South-African estate is now receiving praise from critics thanks to her cuvées that present strong character such as this tannic red suggesting aromas of smoke, cocoa, cherry and blackcurrant.

(Automatically translated) Very rare product, but so good. We taste aromas of oak, tobacco, leather, black fruits... Rich and opulent, well balanced. Drink now or keep. If you find any, run!

(Automatically translated) Full-bodied with supple and pleasant tannins, a beautiful tiled color that demonstrates its harmonious aging (2015). A great discovery, with a good value for money!
