Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Exzellenze is laced with the essence of blackberry, plum, cloves, licorice, chocolate mocha, sweet spice and vanillin. Ample and resonant on the palate, with soft tannins and plush fruit, the Exzellenze will drink well pretty much right out of the gate.

Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and sporting a very deep purple-black color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Exzellenz unfurls slowly, tantalizingly out of the glass to reveal powerful, intense scents of crème de cassis, Black Forest cake, blueberry compote and preserved plums with an undercurrent of Chinese five spice, molten chocolate, licorice and Marmite toast with wafts of garrigue and camphor. Very rich, full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, it coats the mouth with black and blue fruit preserves plus tons of spice and savory accents, held together by a rock-solid, grainy frame and finishing with epic persistence.
