Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot
In this cuvée, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot complement each other to create a structured yet supple red wine. Cabernet Sauvignon often contributes blackcurrant , supporting acidity and pronounced tannins; Merlot addsplum and ripe cherry , fills out the body and softens the overall impression with usually gentler tannins and more moderate acidity. This brings together generous fruit and accessibility with a firm backbone. Above all, the acidity and tannin structure can, with sufficient concentration and suitable Aged, allow for good ageing potential .
The combination is classic in Bordeauxand also well established in many other wine regions, such as California and South Africa. Depending on the climate and Aged, the style ranges from fresh and linear to bold and full-bodied, with possible herbal, cedar and toasty notes. In the glass, it usually shows a deep ruby red. It pairs well with roasted meat, hearty vegetable dishes and mature cheese.
Ratings
Dieser Wein ist eine Cuvée aus Merlot und Cabernet Sauvignon und holt dabei das Beste aus beiden Rebsorten heraus. Er ist weich und köstlich.
Der Wein ist komplex mit Aromen von Früchten , Gewürzen und einen Hauch von Vanille. Der Wein überzeugt bereits in der Nase mit intensiven Aromen die am Gaumen zu einer Geschmacksexplosion führen. Klasse Wein.
Dies ist ein schöner Wein, der mit Bedacht genossen werden sollte. Am besten keine Gedanken machen über die Kombination mit Essen. Am besten einfach alleine genießen!
Vollmundig mit Veilchen- und Vanillearomen in der Nase. Am Gaumen ist er elegant und komplex, mit Noten von roten Beeren, Toffee und Mokka.
Intensiver, herrlicher Geruch von Waldbeeren. Einer der besten Rotweine die ich je getrunken habe. Freue mich auf die nächsten Jahre, wenn er dann seine Komplexität noch mehr entfalten wird - sehr lecker!
