GRANDE PROVENCE - The Grande Provence Red 2015 14%
Merlot 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%, Malbec 10%.
Vinproducenten skriver: A perfectly balanced, full-bodied and multi-dimensional blend with a beautiful deep garnet hue. This wine exhibits a powerful and complex aroma with notes of cigar box, cherry tobacco and cedar, overlaid with cassis, roasted strawberries, bright red cherries and raspberries. The wine has a smooth, supple entry with seamless integration of oak. The flavours on the palate echo those found on the nose and are cradled by pliable, polished tannins that linger like a first kiss. This is a classy and perfectly balanced example of a modern take on Bordeaux. It was barrel aged for 24 months in French oak.
SERVING SUGGESTION
