Tasting note
Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon should give the 2015 wine a composed profile of blackcurrant, dark plum and cedar scented herbs. On the palate, expect a firm spine of tannin around dense fruit, with crisp acidity lending lift and definition as the wine opens. Its listed peak runs through 2046, and the long finish should move from ripe berry toward pencil-like savory notes, with the structure carrying the wine to its 2055 horizon.
