Domaine Philippe Delesvaux 2005 La Montée de l’Epine Cabernet Sauvignon (Anjou)

Country: France / Loire Valley
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Domaine Philippe Delesvaux / La Montée de l’Epine

An intense, dark-colored wine, flavored with spice, tobacco, hints of mint and dark berry fruits. It’s certainly rich, but the tannins do come through along with some green pepper flavors to finish.
