Gorgeous intensity of aromatics on the nose, really so full and alive full of blackcurrant, black cherry and roses. Intense on the palate, straight away a wave of ripe and juicy, aimost tart fruit hits the tongue but edged by a soft creaminess that counters the acidity and gives a roundness to the expression. Still lightly framed, the tannins are not plush, this is more linear and straight at the moment, the oak giving it tension and narrowing the focus overall. But it’s superbly well worked with the best juicy core. Really soft, velvety tannins too giving a crushed stone, powdery element to the finish. Still feels extremely youthful but this will be delicious in a few years. Easy enjoyment. Tasted by Georgina Hindle

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.

Plenty of chocolate and tobacco aromas with currants and blackberries. Medium-bodied with juicy fruit. Fine and creamy tannins. Savory and fruity finish. Better after 2025 but already delicious.

From convent vineyards that are managed by Domaine de Chevalier, this wine is elegant, with a good proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon and berry flavors to match the structure. It has an attractive, fruity backdrop. Drink from 2026.

The 2020 Domaine De La Solitude (Pessac-Léognan) is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot, and in general, 2020 was a good year for Petit Verdot. Deep purple-hued, with a complex, pretty, perfumed bouquet of redcurrants, darker cherries, and sappy herbs, it has an almost salty, liquid rock-like minerality on the palate, is medium-bodied, and has fine tannins as well as outstanding balance. It should evolve for 15+ years.

Shows sleek red currant and mulberry coulis notes that stretch out nicely, lined with red tea and mineral notes. Offers subtle toast, which lets this play out in an unencumbered manner. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2033.
