  I had this same wine over seven years ago for a Bacchus evening and enjoying the same wine again at a Bacchus but it's certainly moved on. Dark, blood red colour, nose of dusty booka, brambly black fruits, a whiff of alcohol to. The palate is fantastic though with saturated, dark black fruits, green pepper, creaminess and with extraordinary concentration. Class in a glass.

  Left for an hour to breathe in the bottle, then put in decanter to speed up ox.
  After another half hour in the decanter, hints of black berries and blackberry exploded.
  Despite the 15%, the wine is incredibly smooth and not heavy.
  An excellent wine of clear Bordeaux inspiration.

  From DMag, Full bodied, warm and juicy, you can feel the 15% alcohol, nice for a bbq when it is not to hot!

  En lieu et place du Redigaffi bouchonné.
  Pas de passage en carafe cette fois, alors on a dû patienter 1 heure avant que les arômes de cassis et de mûres explosent.
  Auparavant, les notes étaient plutôt sur le lait, le chocolat.
  En bouche, le vin offre une belle structure avec une assise finement acide qui lui évite de fatiguer le palais. Le vin s’est amélioré dans le sens où il est plus harmonieux qu’il y a 2 ans.
  Tiendra facilement encore 5 ans.
  Ce n’est pas forcément mon type de vin préféré mais chapeau au vinificateur qui a réussi un vin moderne sans lourdeur (15% tout de même)!

  Coravin. A blend of 70% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. Good weight of black fruit, warm spices and currants, hint of vanilla from the (18 months, 80% new) oak, velvety but grippy tannins, good depth of flavour, broad shoulders, very good length. At La Cave des Climats, Paris, France.
