"Merlot (65%) blends with the two Cabernets in this 2015 vintage, which emphasizes finesse and elegance over power. Our tasters are charmed by its alluring bouquet, which combines fresh red fruit—with raspberry at the forefront—and a full range of woody notes: vanilla, cinnamon, brioche, and licorice. On the palate, this wine charms with its suppleness and roundness, framed by fine, fresh, woody tannins with a licorice flavor.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine.

About the wine:
With a purplish-garnet color, the 2015 Cap de Mourlin opens with a burst of vibrant red fruit notes, accented by blackberry and hints of forest floor. On the palate, it is medium-bodied to full-bodied, with supple, approachable tannins, full of freshness, and finishes with an earthy note. It is ready to drink now and should age well for another 10 to 12 years.
