"Intense garnet in color, it offers a deep nose of baked blackberries, Black Forest cake, Christmas pudding and Chinese five spice with hints of rose hip tea, cedar and mincemeat pie. Full-bodied, super-rich and wonderfully concentrated on the palate, offering a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins, long, spicy finish." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Lisa Perrotti-Brown)

About the wine:
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 4% Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour 2015 aged for 22 months in 90% new French oak barrels. Intense garnet in color, it offers a deep nose of baked blackberries, Black Forest cake, Christmas pudding and Chinese five spice with hints of rose hip tea, cedar and mince pie. Full-bodied, super-rich and wonderfully concentrated on the palate, offering a rock-solid framework of grainy tannins and a long, spicy finish. At 15% alcohol, this is a magnificently rich, ripe and opulent expression with an irresistible energetic freshness that compensates for the wine's ageing.

About the wine:
A complex red with notes of blackcurrant, undergrowth and mint. Eucalyptus too. I love the aromas. Full-bodied, with ripe tannins that roll off the palate. Very harmonious and precise. Needs four to five years to mature, but already a joy to enjoy.
