Bordeaux, France
2015 vintage. Gros Moulin has a long winemaking history, Rémy Eymas being the 11th generation. Per Vitem ad Vitam is a Cabernet Franc (80%) and Malbec blend and this 2015 is gorgeous. Intense perfume with blackberries, violets, cedar wood and a hint of rosemary. This complex beauty combines power and elegance. The solid tannic backbone is balanced by fresh acidity and layered black fruit. Great length too. Hard to resist now, but should age effortlessly for at least 15 years. Terrific value at 25 euros. Not to be missed.

Nov 22nd, 20212016 vintage. 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Malbec. Another strong effort from this excellent producer. Unusual blend for Bourg. A little understated initially, actually better the next day, so you might want to decant. Elegant and fresh with well-integrated high alcohol (14,5%). While not as impressive as the pure Malbec from this estate, it's a solid effort that will age well for at least 10 more years.
