Description
The 2002 Reserve is composed of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Shiraz aged in 72% new French and Hungarian oak. Opaque purple-colored, this glass-coating effort gives up a sexy bouquet of pain grille, creosote, pepper, blueberry compote, and blackberry enhanced by several years of bottle age. On the palate it nicely combines elegance and power, marked by intense savory blue and black fruits, lots of spice, silky tannin, and a lengthy finish.
Food Pairing
Grilled or roast beef especially served rare or with a pepper sauce.
