Tasting notes
Composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep brick in color. It explodes with the most gorgeous rose petal and kirsch-scented perfume, opening out to a core of creme de cassis, plum preserves, and Indian spices, with a touch of sauteed herbs. The medium-bodied palate has a finely crafted backbone of pixilated tannins and seamless freshness supporting the delicate black fruit and floral layers, finishing long and perfumed.
