Poplar Grove The Legacy 2016
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIn 2016 cabernet franc returns to the lead, which undoubtedly attracted all the London accolades at the Decanter tasting. The ‘16 mix is 33/25/15/14/13 cabernet franc, malbec, merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot, and it opens with a savoury, cedar lead pencil nose with a whiff of red fruit. The entry is a similar style with fresh red cherry, dried herbs and dense but sweet tannins. Just a baby with good potential to get better in the bottle as the desert scrub and savoury notes of the Okanagan grow among the fruit. Should cellar easily through 2024 and beyond.Tasted: 06 December 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $55.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
