Tasting note

Merlot 43%, Cabernet Franc 41%, Malbec 13%, Cabernet Sauvignon 3%. This firmly textured wine begins with aromas of black currant and black cherry, which are echoed on the palate, along with flavours of coffee and dark chocolate. There are spicy fruit flavours on the lingering finish.This wine will age for at least 10 years. Score - 94. (John Schreiner, johnschreiner.blogspot.com, July 13, 2015)

Aromas of currant, coffee and cedar. Initial flavours of blackberry briar and ripe plums are followed by hints of leather, spice and vanilla. Well-balanced. Long finish.

The Poplar Grove Legacy 2007 is the signature wine that is made to age and improve for 10 years or more A blend of the Bordeaux varieties, it shows ripeness of the 2007 vintage via the small berry size and low yields. Extremely swollen in concentration, there is an abundance of blackberry and currant fruit and complexities of leather, spice and vanilla.
