2017 Le Riche Reserve

Dark ruby with a highly aromatic nose, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve opens with a firm line of green bell pepper, roasted blackberry, plum skin and black cherry essence, clothed with baking spices from the aging in French oak. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is still youthful, with firmly structured tannins, offering elements of baked earth and clay, sweet oak tones and hints of leather. The long, lingering finish oozes with elegance. Put this wine at the back of your cellar and forget about it for a decade, or open it over the next few years and enjoy it with food. I see where this wine is headed, so be patient and your time and efforts will be rewarded.
