  Meet the winemaker - MDDG with Samuel Guibert (WSET Bermondsey): Cabernet Sauvignon vines now 50 years old. Cabernet Sauvignon is separately fermented (for up to 4 weeks) to all of the other red varieties (which are co-fermented for ~2 weeks whilst the cabernet sauvignon is being picked). Pumped over twice per day in oxygen-rich environment for 5-days, before flushing the oxygen out with CO2. Pumping over minimised to a maximum of once per day towards the end of fermentation. Blended post-fermentation, and pressed after blending.
  
  Bell pepper comes through quite strongly. Super youthful; bags of tannins left (more than the ‘21 or the ‘12). I think this is brilliant. *Tiny* bit of a hot finish. The real standout out of the ‘21, ‘16, ‘12, ‘06 and ‘98 lineup.

  A magnificent Mas de Daumas Gassac vertical from the private cellars of Allard Jakobs (Restaurant Sinck, Amsterdam, NL): Magnum. A real 2006 in character, bright and tannic, grippy, clean and clear and bright, extraction not pushed too far, well made, still a good future. I was surprised.

  Still some fruit in this one. Plums, damsons, something dark and sumptuous.
  Tannins abound.
  Herbs, possibly rosemary or thyme are vaguely hinted at.
  Interesting and pleasant to drink.

  Dominant aromas are floral. Violets and blackberry aromas and the flavours are great. Tannins are still present but very welcome as they support the blackcurrant and blackberry fruits really well. There are savoury notes too with black olive and tapenade which linger long on the finish. A huge fan of this wine.

  I initially got:-
  Roses
  Cherries
  Leather
  However - whilst very fruity on opening the fruit faded over a short period of time, still smooth but more vegetal
  Drink up?
