| Region | France: Languedoc- Roussillon | |||
| Notes | "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100% Cabernet, from clay and limestone soils, that was fermented with oak staves and aged in concrete tanks. It offers textbook notes of blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, earth and graphite, medium to full-bodied, richness, solid density and firm tannin. It’s a ripe, pleasure bent effort that has good fruit, as well as some old-world charm. Drink it over the coming 4-5 years." (Jeb Dunnuck) | |||
Additional Notes "Medium-intense scents of black plum- and cherry-skin lead the way on the nose of this rich wine. The palate is dense, with mouthcoating tanning that retail their grip through the tight finish. The fruit is secondary to the structure." (Wine Enthusiast) |
