Osoyoos Larose Le Grand Vin 2016

The blend is 62.5% Merlot, 12.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11.8% Petit Verdot, 7.7% Cabernet Franc and 5.5% Malbec. This is a marvellous wine. To begin with, the tannin management has made this a little more accessible in its youth than many previous vintages of LGV. It has aromas and flavours of cherry, currant and blueberry. The flavours are bright and lively and the finish persists. (johnschreiner.blogspot.com,March 11, 2020)
