Product information "Thelema Rabelais 2015"
Thelema Rabelais ensnares the nose with intense and concentrated aromas of dark berry fruit and fragrant cedar wood, while nuances of sweet, sweet fruit on the palate, refined tannins and a long and finesse-rich finish provide the ultimate pleasure !
Thelema Rabelais is a sensational Bordeaux blend made from the best grapes of each vintage. Individual barrels were identified whose juice was worthy enough to bear the name Rabelais.
