Red fruits on the nose with hints of liquorice and coffee

the 2017 The Bard is composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot

The wine offers very vertical or lifted aromas of dried fruit

Utterly fine-grained and seamless on entry

but the fruit here is even more gorgeous and seductive

Mordoree, Chateauneuf Du Pape Reine Bois other_regions Red fruits on the noseA strapping, richly layered wine, teeming with blackberry, black currant and boysenberry paste flavors wrapped in a lively black licorice note. Stays juicy and energetic throughout, with light bramble and graphite nuances checking in on the very long and powerfully built finish. Best from 2020 through 2040. 90 cases imported. JM
