Reserve Troika Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Pencil-lead, cranberry, mineral, smoke, charred red bell pepper. Cab franc lead Bordeaux blend (and it definitely tastes like It). Will probably age beautifully.

Truly a brilliant wine. So youthful for its age (sure, only ten years, but this isn’t the Médoc), but everything poised in perfect harmony. The first sip raised my eyebrows for its immediate explosion of fruit; then came the lavender & violet on the mid-palate, followed by a long, savoury finish. Memorable and, at £16, an absolute no-brainer.

Jul 15th, 2019Quintessential Bordeaux blend - very impressive. Quite young at this stage, could have some years in it yet.

Wonderful wine. Spicy, smooth, delicious. Will definitely pick up a few bottles first chance I get!

Reserve blend. Good Bordeaux style blend with matured fruit and chewy flavors. Low acid but tannins for structure. Delicious.

Jun 11th, 201917/20 (92/100) Элегантный аромат с нотами кислой вишни, чёрной смородины, черники и ванили. В развитии спелые чёрные ягоды и шоколад начинают доминировать во вкусе и аромате. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, вяжущими танинами. Молодо.

Jan 9th, 2017Upea herukkainen, savuinen ja musteinen maku. Tanniinit yllättävän kevyet, mutta antoivat mukavasti ryhtiä. Tarjottu Joulupöydässä poronpaistin kera.
