Tasting notes
In many vintages, d’Escurac is an exceptional bargain and is usually a 50-50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2011 is loaded with cedary spices, black currant, cherry, underbrush and licorice characteristics. A solidly made, medium-bodied over-achiever, this sleeper of the vintage should drink well for 3-4 years.

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot. Either sulphur or reduction on the nose isn’t the most attractive introduction, and it has a very coarse tannic structure. Hard, punchy – forgets to be pleasurable. (RH)
