Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Includes a small addition (5%) of Cabernet Franc. Spends 8m in French oak, 35% of which is new, it’s then racked off to a 1y old foudre (large format barrel) for 14 months.
Black olive, tobacco, sweeter perfume: lavender/ violets perhaps. Seems more full than medium, possesses a sense of darkness and feels liked its coiled.
For that depth, it is silken and the tannin is powder fine. Comes with dark chocolate, clove spice and a suggestion of fennel.
Serious Cabernet, yet my gut feel is it’s still a sleeping giant.
