A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Chateau la Vieille Cure is expressed by an aromatic complexity that is both fine and robust. The notes of fairly intense red fruits are brightened by a subtle spicy touch. Its purple adornment and elegant roundness give it a certain sensitivity, while its solid structure, its chewiness and its fleshy side give it a powerful character.
Wine Advocate Review:
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 La Vieille Cure has some cedary notes to begin, giving way to scents of red and black currants, blackberries and forest floor plus hints of truffles and iron ore. Full-bodied and packed with vibrant fruit, the oak still stands apart a tad in the flavor profile and structure, yet it should emerge beautifully with another 2-3 years in bottle and drink for the following 15-20 years. Anticipated Maturity: 2020-2040
