2016 | Chene Bleu Abelard Red Blend | Vaucluse Bodegas Oliveras and tangy spice explode inAn intriguing late release red, with some lovely signs of evolution balsamic, leafy tobacco, forest floor notes melding seamlessly with juicy plum sauce and mocha accents. A salty beam of acidity brings energy. Elegant, long and caressing, offering plenty of fleshiness and charm. Drinking beautifully now, with life for the cellar. Delicious.
