Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc and 13% Merlot, sourced from the Gamache and Champoux vineyards. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, floral and pronounced cigar box spice, aged in 100% new French oak. On the palate flavors of ripe raspberry and blackberry with cedar and spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and spice. Drink now, no further aging benefit! — 2 years ago

Pop and pour. A bit over a year and a half since my last btl. On the nose: alluring as ever with blackberry, blueeberry, vanilla, charcoal. On the palate, this seems a little less vibrant than I would like: good acid and fruit up front, but falls of quickly on the mid with finely grained, but attenuated tannin on the finish. If this btl is any indication, this is on the downslope, but still drinking well. — 3 years ago

Have a look at my notes on the Champoux, here is same level albeit different blend with more merlot if I understood it correctly. Really good stuff. Would be probably better with 3 to 5 more years. — a year ago

9.1

High alcohol (15% abv) is a bit daunting but this is still a lovely wine: Deep ruby (almost purple) with beguiling aromas of violet, blackberry, black cherry, plum, Cedar, vanilla, graphite and
Blackberry jam. Long finish and lots of potential over the next 5 or 6 years — 9 months ago

A complex blend - day 1 was disjointed, day 2 came together. Beautiful. — 3 years ago
