Rubicon Bordeaux Blend
2007
AL
- Quite developed, ruby red colour; very intense,
elegant and refined nose, Bordeaux like with notes
of tobacco, fine spices, dark berries, blackcurrant
and plum; the wines shows a good level of
complexity on the palate, dense, dark and chewy
fruit with complex spiciness, finely grained tannin
and a very long, resonant aftertaste - a very fine and
stylish wine.

MdM
- Dark, purple red with garnet red hue and
black centre. Opulent and elegant, quite classic in
style with aromas reminiscent of blackcurrant, red
peppers and mild spices. On the palate well structured
with good length, well integrated tannins and
almost juicy finish.
