2014 vintage. Confusingly there are 2 second wines at Château Olivier, this one is probably 50% merlot and 50% cabernet sauvignon and it is absolutely delicious. Chateau Olivier is on a roll over the last years and this exceeded my expectations. Nicely concentrated fruit, with a certain spicy complexity, polished tannin and an impressive finish. Hard to resist now but should age well for a few more years. Well worth the 19,50 euro price tag.
