Réserve Spéciale Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 - Gérard Bertrand

The Réserve Spéciale Cabernet Sauvignon by Gérard Bertrand presents itself in the glass in a dark cherry to purple with a reddish purple glow. The aromatic bouquet unfolds with the nuances of delicately sweet, ripe black and red currants, blueberries and plums. These fruit notes are accompanied by spicy hints, such as laurel, pepper, mocha and vanilla. Fine roasted notes and woody hints complement.

This southern French red wine is powerful on the palate and fleshy with concentrated fruit. This is in excellent balance with the matured tannins and the lively acidity. Spicy and full-bodied, this wine leads into an aromatic reverberation with dark chocolate, toast and vanilla.
