Abreu, Thorevilos Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions_italy The 2015 Domaine de Chevalier

The 2015 Domaine de Chevalier has a perfumed

as it needs at least several years in bottle to be at its very best

the Les Cailles ratchets it up yet another notch with its spicy and pure blend of cassis

This isn’t a monster of concentration in the same fashion as its 2018 counterpart but it offers fine quality

Fine-grained tannins sneak in very slowly and meld seamlessly with the energetic fruit

Abreu, Thorevilos Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions_italy The 2015 Domaine de ChevalierGrown on white volcanic ash soil, the deep garnet purple colored 2014 Thorevilos Proprietary Red has a very meaty nose with charcuterie, beef drippings, truffles and wood smoke over spice cake, blackberry tart, warm blackcurrants, earth and anise plus a waft of cedar chest. The palate is very firm, grainy, lively and taut with loads of earthy savory layers and great length.
