18 Rene Gabriel
Sattes, dunkles Purpur mit violettem Schimmer. Zu Kopf steigendes Bouquet, gehackte, getrocknete Waldfrüchte, Weihrauch, Thymian, Amarenakirschen, Rumtopfsüsse. Opulenter, dichter Gaumen, ernorm viel Stoff und eine berauschende Frische im Extrakt zeigend, das sich wie ein einreduzierter Beerencocktail anfühlt, durch die Konzentration noch eine gewisse Körnigkeit im Extrakt aufweisend, erfahrungsgemäss braucht der Wein 10 Jahre Flaschenreife bis er diesen Effekt in Power umgesetzt hat. warten (2017 - 2029)

Planted in pure limestone above Gerard Perse?s other famous vineyard/terroir, Chateau Pavie, this 10-acre site?s vines average 47 years of age. Fashioned from remarkably low yields, this blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc is a powerful, dense, tannic wine that will require considerable time to round into shape. It exhibits a dense purple color along with sweet aromas of mulberries, black currants, minerals, cold steel, graphite, and background spice. Full-bodied, highly-extracted, dense, and made in an unfashionably tannic, broodingly backward style, this is a wine for the ages. It requires 8-10 years of cellaring, and should last for 25-30+.
