Maison Abbotts Cordis 2002
March's Wine of the Month and marked down from 4,210 yen. This wine is a steal at this price!
A superb Minervois from Abbotts' "Passion" range. Rich fruit without excessive sweetness. Look for spice notes and a hint of chocolate.
A concentrated wine with pepper, paprika and red berry notes. Rich palate with fine, soft tannins, and great length. An extremely versatile wine which goes perfectly with game, red meats, spicy food and cheese.
Hand harvested from 50 year-old vines. Carbonic maceration for 30% (press juice is blended with free run wine). Traditional fermentation for 70%.Matured in 2 year old American oak barrels for 18 months. Drink in 5 to 8 years.
