Destiny Bay Magna Praemia 2019

“A deep garnet coloured with tinges of purple and blue shows the increased Cabernet before the first taste of this rare Left Bank blend. The nose is intense with a Pomerol-esque quality and a range of aromas from blackberry, cocoa, tobacco, to a hint of thyme. Underpinning the fruit is lovely oak with notes of vanilla and spice. In the mouth, the wine is rich and broad across the palate, but remains lithe and focused which shows the care the winemaking team put into assemblage. The wine finishes long and with a power that suggests it will be many years before it reaches full expression.

FOOD MATCH: Beef fillet, Terrine of Rabbit and Duck, dishes with dark sauces and roast vegetables. Aged & French soft cheese.”
