Maison Cazes Rivesaltes Grenat Red 1986

This Rivesaltes Garnet 1986 from Maison Cazes offers a very dark garnet colour and has a nose marked by aromas of ripe red berries that already leave a little room for the first aromas of evolution, cocoa, plums, spices and leather. The palate is unctuous with the same notes, very mellow tannins and a long finish. A beautiful wine from 1986 that will go very well with cooked meats or game. A very fine 1986 vintage.
