Tasting Notes: Soft Merlot fruit with added perfume from the Cabernet Franc. A light elevage in oak adds a further dimension so give this wine until mid-2019 to knit together then enjoy over the next several years.
| Drinking Dates: 2019 to 2025 | Cépagement: 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc | Upbringing: Very much in the same manner as Teyssier - and all the Maltus wines. Very modern (almost New World style) Bordeaux. The wine spends 12 months in oak barrels. | ABV: 14% | Critic Reviews: "A big time sleeper of the vintage from the portfolio of Englishman Jonathan Maltus, this exuberant, richly fruity 2009 is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. It is exactly what the market is demanding ... a lush, heady, classic Bordeaux with plenty of spice box, black cherry fruit, and mocha offered in a fleshy, succulent style." 90/100 ( Wine Advocate) |
