La Bri Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Name: La Bri Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Brand: La Bri
SKU: 22076

The nose shows a complex mix of cassis, cloves, nutmeg and green Madagascan peppercorns. Deliciously ripe, dark, inky fruit, chocolate and a subtle cinnamon background. Good balance between structure and finesse on the palate. Will benefit from a few years of ageing.
