Perseus Select Lots Invictus 2013
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAnother of a growing number of cabernet franc dominant blends that brings a special savoury, leafy edge to the mix - subduing sweet fruit notes and in some cases, too much new oak for the better. The blend is a 42/38/13/7/ mix of cabernet franc/merlot/cabernet sauvignon/malbec. The textures are round, the tannins silky with ripe, juicy boysenberry/black cherry fruit over earthy notes and dense fine-grained tannins. Solid and it should improve over the next five years in bottle. A fine improvement over the 2011. Try this with roasted meats.Tasted: 13 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $49.99 | 750ml | winery direct or private wine stores |
