The 2020 Olivier has an impressive, well-defined, fresh and vibrant bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and crushed stone scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a sappy entry. It has fine weight and concentration, even feeling quite muscular toward the finish, yet it retains a sense of finesse. This has great potential. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Graves

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes. Red wines from Graves are predominantly blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a balanced expression of dark fruits, structure, and age-worthy potential. The appellation is also celebrated for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These whites showcase bright acidity, citrus flavors, and a unique flinty character. Graves is home to renowned châteaux like Haut-Brion, a Premier Cru Classé, exemplifying the region's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character. Exploring Graves unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and terroir converge to create wines that resonate with history and sophistication.

The 2020 Olivier Rouge is composed of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes bounding from the glass with bold notes of baked plums, juicy blackberries, and warm cassis, plus hints of chargrill, crushed rocks, and truffles. The full-bodied palate, laden with vivacious black fruits, has a lively backbone, supported by fine-grained tannins and finishing earthy.

Direct, with a mix of ripe red currant and black cherry compote flavors, this turns slightly rustic through the back end, with warm earth, singed cedar and alder notes checking in. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2028. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 9,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.
