Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 96
The Bordelaise bottlings excelled in this vintage for Denner, including this Cab-led blend, which also features 12% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Tannat. Intense aromas of blackberry, cocoa and dark flowers are impressively concentrated, as is the palate, where cassis and elderberry flavors meet with mint and pepper spices. Built to impress.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
