Saturday, September 18, 2021 - A Bordeaux blend with 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 15% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot.
Deep garnet red and almost opaque core.
Pop n pour, showing an elegant nose of ripe blue fruits, slowly open up with plum, chocolate, vanilla and toasty oak.
Soft and round on entry, it has fresh and primary fruits on palate, along with blackcherry, plum, blackcurrant, blueberry, cedar, some dusty herbal notes and sweet toasty oak. Fine velvety tannins and lingering finish with peppery aftertaste.
This is a nice bottle, drinking lovely tonight and showing complex characters from a blend. Just lack of some wow factor to merit higher rating.
