| Grapes: Cabernet Franc Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon | Origin: France, Bordeaux |
Lea & Sandeman review
Lovely deep, 'grown-up' looking colour with more nuance than many of the 2003s at this stage. Immediate sweet blackberry fruit with fathomless depth, richly concentrated and full of graphite and bonfire-smoke, the flavours rolling over each other and going on very long on the finish.Other reviews and comments
the saturated ruby/purple-colored 2003 exhibits a tightly-knit, but promising nose of mulberries, blackberries, cherries, and hints of new oak and truffles. This 60% Cabernet Sauvignon / 40% Merlot blend possesses a gorgeous texture as well as an expansive, exotic softness, and 13% alcohol (according to the proprietor, Madame Denise Gasqueton). Generous and rich, this high class, full-bodied wine will undoubtedly be more approachable than its closest spiritual sibling, the 1982. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2030.
