The 2019 Laurea is a blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Cabernet Franc. The nose is wonderfully perfumed, oering scents of red roses, Ceylon tea and licorice over a core of warm cassis, blueberry compote and kirsch with a touch of tilled soil. Full-bodied, ripe and juicy in the mouth, it has a velvety texture and a spicy kick to the finish. 795 cases were made.
Decanter
Winemaker Françoise Pechon has produced the wines here from the first vintage in 2013. A mix of Darnajou, Taransaud and Sylvain coopers provide a tapestry of beautiful cedar spice and cigar box notes. Full-bodied, creamy and dark, leading with crème de cassis and layered with chocolate and mint. Long beams of sappy tannins glide to an earthy finish. (JC
Vinous
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Laurea is bright and eusive, with striking aromatic lift and tons of sheer allure. This mid-weight, classy Cabernet Sauvignon will drink well prey much upon release. Even today it is an absolute charmer. Vibrant floral and spice notes perk up the finish.
