Tasting Notes
In this blend, Cabernet Sauvignon brings a core of blackcurrant fruit and a firm, structural spine as well as a cedary, gravelly-mineral scent. The savory dried mountain herbs fragrance and green peppercorn spice from Cabernet Franc cleverly cuts through and integrates with Malbecs blackberry lushness and violet floral power. Upon release, the 2015 brings an attractively fragrant mix of orange zest, licorices, thyme and lavender to complete the picture of a Grand Vin which needs a few more years to synchronize its multitude of structural layers.
