Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite
Le Dix de Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah
Cabernet with a bit of Syrah added, deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, cedar and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum and blackberry with cedar, cacao and pepper spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, cedar, cacao and mineral spice character. Good now but wait a few years.

This wine unfortunately was placed in the wrong spot in the line up. Too many quality heavy hitters surrounded it. This is a medium bodied wine with light mouth watering red fruit and heavy tannin.
