2018 Cabernet Collection Solaksen
Tasting notes
Black cherries, blackberries, fig, white pepper, violets and stone minerality. Swirling enhances notes of chocolate, and barrel toast. The palate expresses red and dark cherries, sweet tobacco, herbs and brown sugar. This wine shows excellent harmony and great fruit intensity and a medium to full body. Enjoy now or in the next 10 years.
