Tasting note
Garnet in colour, this red boasts a intense nose exuding animal, woody, empyreumatic, spicy and fruity aromas. Discover this full-bodied wine expressing lively acidity and offering a full-bodied texture and fleshy tannins. It also unveils a intense mouthfeel that leads into a medium finish.
Elegantly restrained full body, tautly-structured with polished tannins and integrated acidity. The classic cassis, smoke and dusty spice flavors carry through on the intense, complex finish. A perfect match with medium-rare roast beef, or other red meats.
This blend is made up of 43 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 percent Petit Verdot, 16 percent Malbec, 16 percent Merlot and 5 percent Cabernet Franc. It shows ripe and concentrated sweet cranberry, cherry and cocoa flavours. A rich and well-balanced red with fine tannins, it is a great food wine that pairs well with lamb cutlets or a great steak. This is Glen Carlou’s flagship red Bordeaux blend – you will be rewarded by cellaring this wine for up to 10 years.
