A little touch of caramel and settled old plum fruit. Pretty with a complex mid palate. Quietly delicious

Jul 12th, 20231972 vintage. 96% Cabernet Sauvignon.Mid-shoulder level. Amazing. Light, refined and fresh, evolving well in the glass, so decided to decant it, which made it blossom. What a surprise for this entry level wine. Abv. 11,5% (!).

Blend of 84% Cab Sauv, 4% Syrah, 4% Petite Sirah, 3% Merlot, 2% Touriga Nacional, 2% Cab Franc and 1% Charbono. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruit, cedar and floral spice. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry, black cherry and currants with complex spice showing notes of cacao, cinnamon and rich vanilla oak. Fine soft tannins, nice mouthfeel, great balance with acidity, long finish, ending with oak, herb and mineral notes. Nice!

So I opened this a few nights ago, it was okay. I didn’t get a chance to have any more until tonight. Wow! Very fruit forward and silky smooth. I’m really enjoying this on a chilly Florida evening! 😜 (56 degrees) cheers!

BV grapes, first planted back in 1900, by founder Georges de Latour. A blend of 94% Cab Sauv, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Petit Sirah & 2% Merlot. Deep dense red with rich fruit aromas with floral oak spice. On the palate blackberry & cherry flavors with cacao and toasty cedar notes. Fine tannins, a bit tight, lingering finish, well integrated, nicely balanced. Nice value!

Lots of bell pepper on the nose. Need some time to breathe. Creamy and light vanilla. Solid.

I respect the pros -- anyone who can get someone to pay them to drink wine can't be completely clueless, but the pro that rated this wine at 8.3 must've been pairing this wine with a McDonald's happy meal. Maybe it aged well for me, but I really love this wine. Great flavor and body. Tastes like a cab to me.
