Bernard Magrez, Cabernet Sauvignon

Bernard Magrez, Cabernet SauvignonComposed entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon sings of freshly crushed red and black currants, warm plums and black raspberries with touches of cedar chest and tobacco. Full bodied, firm and grainy, it has a lively backbone cutting through the intense layers, finishing on a compelling spicy note. 98 cases produced.

There's quite a lot of structure here and a lot of muscular fruitit should easily cellar for 25 years or more

Distinctly savory

more volume and it's quite open and expressive

with grainy tannins and firm acidity

Now this is how you make a great Blanc de Blancs

This is more restrained than exuberant

but it's once again a fabulous Prälat made to age for decades and more
