Points Rich and concentrated with deep cassis, blackberries, tobacco and a cocoa-powder savoriness… A full-bodied red with a mouthful of powerful, melted tannins… a long, creamy finish with some savory licorice.

Tasting Notes

The 2018 Cinq Cépages opens with inviting aromas of cassis, blackberry jam, a touch of dried currants, leather, and soft nutmeg and cardamom spice notes. The palate offers more dark fruits with rich, ripe, jammy fruit, black cherries, plums and cassis and notes of vanilla and maple spice. The wine is wellstructured with silky tannins leading to a satisfying finish. Rewarding and ready for enjoyment now, the 2018 vintage will also evolve over time with proper cellaring.
