"A blend of Merlot (70%) and Cabernet Franc, this deep garnet-red wine with hints of violet delighted tasters. As intense as it is elegant, the nose displays a complex palette of red fruits, blackcurrants, prunes, figs, spices and dried fruits. On the palate, it is supported by a tannic structure that is both dense and rounded - an iron fist in a velvet glove - and offers a pleasant return of fruit on the finish. Well-built and persistent, this is a gourmet wine that will age gracefully". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

About the wine:
Made from a blend of Merlot (70%) and Cabernet Franc, this deep garnet-red wine with violet highlights delighted tasters. As intense as it is elegant, the nose displays a complex palette of red fruits, blackcurrants, prunes, figs, spices and dried fruits. On the palate, it is supported by a tannic structure that is both dense and rounded - an iron fist in a velvet glove - and offers a pleasant return of fruit on the finish. Well-built and persistent, this is a gourmet wine that will age gracefully.
About the domain :
A major cooperative in southwestern France, the Cave de Buzet produces many of the appellation's wines (red, white and rosé). It was founded in 1953, and the Buzet appellation was created twenty years later. It advocates sustainable viticulture, reconciling technical progress and natural practices.

Rather disappointing for a Buzet, not bad of course, but I found it rather unremarkable. Perhaps I don't have a fine enough palate...
