Inky black with long legs. Aromas of blackberries, cherries and licorice. Dry and acidic with a firm grippy finish. Will go great with red meat.

Very smooth - liked it a lot but not as much as the 2012 Casa Grand Selection cab from Lapistolle

Earthen ashy and green on the nose, Tannic and acidic with a velvety mouthfeel, lingering tobacco and red fruits

Underdelivered but previous vintages were outstanding. Lots of earth and mulch, tannins were firm. Normally a good buy!

Don't like the Cuvée as well; the Cab is much better; lighter, less body in taste and on palate.
