axr right bank blend 2021
This predominantly Cabernet Franc blend was built to showcase a Bordeaux-style blend with softer (Right Bank) tannins and a focus on fruit-forward characteristics, compared to the more structured and tannic wines from the Left Bank of Bordeaux.
tasting notes:
on the rim: deep, dark, shiny eggplant with touches of black cherry and ruby
on the nose: juicy entrance evolving on a dense mid-palate with granular tannins, but coated with a sweet fruit like plum, lingering on graphite and blackberry jam
on the palate: explosion of cedar, cinnamon and cooking spices with black currant, thyme, rosemary, cigar box and graphite
