This Buzet 2019 has a very intense nose with notes of black fruit underlined by fine touches of spice, toast and wood. The attack on the palate is very powerful, with remarkably well-coated tannins that are fine, elegant and full-bodied. This long-lasting aromatic wine is the perfect accompaniment to a fine piece of game!

About the domain :
The cooperative, which controls most of the Buzet appellation - some 1950 hectares to date, planted with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon, Semillon, etc. - had built up a solid reputation in the 1990s. With a few more difficult vintages, quality declined, before returning once again to a good level. The range offered by this winery is worthy of attention; the wines are followed on a parcel-by-parcel basis and assert specific identities, without being overly showy.

Too supple for a Cabernet blend, indicated on the bottle contrary to the website. Not enough length.
