Blended Red from Other
Review Date : 12-May-2022
Deep, ruby-red, lighter on the rim. The nose is full and expressive; smoke overlays red berries, cassis and plums, along with cigars and rich spice. Full-bodied, youthful in appearance, red berries, cassis, and plums interweave cigar, violet, sweet vanilla, clove and nutmeg. The fruit is succulent with vibrancy and intensity, enriched by fine-grained tannin extraction, and lingers with cigar and smoky fragrance, finishing with a rich yet vibrant chewy palate. Match with roasted lamb and beef short ribs over the next 8+ years. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Mourvedre, 5% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Syrah, aged in barrels for 8 months. 18.5/20 pts (93 pts) May 2022 RRP $37.50
