The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon starts off dry and cedary

A silky texture sets the pace for black cherry

There is a touch of herbal tea character on the pretty and fresh red berry fruit and gentle earth nuanced nose

velvety tannins that still offer some resistance on the palate

Thierry Germain (Roches Neuves), Saumur Champigny Marginales Size:6x1.5L The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon startsLa Marginale is Thierry Germains best known bottling, and there's good reason for that, the nose expresses a cascade of raspberry and blackberry fruits infused with herbal notes. It has good heft on the palate while remaining fruity and lively. A superb wine combining seduction with complexity.
