Bodega del Desierto La Palma 25/5 Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 750 ML

Introduction

This really captivates you from the get-go with loads of beeswax, honeysuckle and apricots. And then the sea salt, chalk, white blossoms, chamomile and hints of vanilla and apple strudel follow. On the palate, this is so polished and intense with racy acidity. A textured mouthfeel all the way to the long, structured finish.
