A very solid wine…but also extremely young and tight. Pronounced cassis aroma, supported by notes of crushed blackcurrant buds and tar. Needs at least a few hours in the decanter. Long life ahead of this seductive and masculine wine. Long finish.

LCBO Tasting #2 South American Bordeaux Blends might be my jam or maybe because the majority has been top-shelf wines 🧐😂. 64% Carmenère, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot.
I thought the Purple Angel smelled Wonderful until I got to this, more inviting on the nose with black cake (those baking spices and black fruits together 😋) bell pepper, and iron. Juicy flavours of cherry, plum, cream, cedar, and perfume with tight medium plus tannins and finish to go with the nice fresh acidity. Wonderful.

At the vanguard there’s a wonderfully endowed, and epic fruit. A very sultry wine, with wild plums, blackberries, garlic chives, cherries, rose petals and teak. Layered and full-bodied. Fine tannins, with this underbelly of pure elegance. Finishes long. Decanted for an hour. Within its own realm every single vintage. Drink 2025 -.

Extremely good wine. Full body, however very round, on the red fruit and without any astringency. Goes well with a good steak. Highly recommended.
