Top Notes For
Sergio Licea

Blackberry compote, raspberry tea, cocoa, bell pepper, rust. Mellow rounded acidity, medium bodied, juicy concentrated texture, firm wide smooth velvet tannins, earthy mineral finish. Structure driven, sweet tannins make for excellent accompaniment to glazed/grilled meats. Pedestrian on its own, excels way beyond price point as a food wine. Needed half an hour to reveal itself. Review is for the flagship ‘Origines’ cuvée of the estate. Biodynamic Bordeaux!
