| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
|
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, bright, savoury, herbal, baked plum nose. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, faintly bitter, somewhat herbal, dusty, dried plum-apple flavours with a lingering, gently cedary finish. This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot seems grippy, strident and somewhat unripe. Has 13.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L14 on the back label. Part of the Fun Facts Spotlight with 10 items. |

| TASTING NOTE: Warm and ripe, this is a delicious, structured wine from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot from Stéphane Dupuch. It has fine tannins that give a spicy character aided by 14 months in French oak as well as bold black fruits that are developing well. The acidity at the end adds the freshness. Drink from 2019.
