Complex bouquet with floral and fruit notes with a toasty touch
20 years cellaring suggestion on front label seems remarkably modest
Gorgeous wine and very approachable now
all wrapped in a very firm
It's on the mid-slope of a west-facing limestone ridge with Campanian chalk soils
Grosset Gaia Cabernet Blend 2019 Vintage Complex bouquet with floral andCabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. 5000 bottles made. Elegant. This has grunt and low down power, but the engine is built into a chassis of fine fruit and supple tannins. The acidity acts as the titanium bolt that holds it together, creating a strengthening framework of life and finesse. Blackberries, cassis, liquorice, mulberry and raw cocoa, with nori, pink peppercorns and pastrami, blood plum, kelp and brine. Marvellous. Erin Larkin for James
