WINEMAKER'S TASTING NOTES:

A carmine red colour casts this Magna Praemia into the realm of a classic and nuanced Left-Bank claret. Upfront the Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics offer florality and peppery qualities with just a hint of caramel from both the French and American oak. On the palate the acidity gives focus, yet the wine remains warm and generous with black cherry, boysenberry and a touch of French vanilla that rounds out a lengthy finish. In its youth, decanting over a few hours will allow this Magna Praemia to express even more perfume notes and palate weight giving insight into the rewards this wine will offer from time in the cellar.

 

ENJOY FROM: 5-15+ years from vintage
