🏰 The 2017 Colgin Cariad, named for the Welsh word for love, is a highly acclaimed Bordeaux blend from Colgin, characterized by its 【opulence, structure, and exotic notes of violet, dark fruit, and gravelly minerality】. The 2017 vintage began with double the average winter rainfall, delaying the season, but harvest was rapid with cold nights and sunny days. This wine beautifully dances between exuberance and restraint, bolstered by heightened acidity. It offers deep notes of 【blackberry and licorice weaving with warm spice flavors of curry, cumin, and cinnamon】, alongside wet gravel, menthol, and chocolate. The palate is dense and full-textured with broad tannins, freshness, and longevity. 🍴 Food Pairing: Excellent with beef and venison. Also a perfect match for barbecue. 🥂 Fit for event: A superb choice for a luxurious dinner, a significant celebration, or a vertical tasting of high-end Bordeaux blends.
