The 2016 Chateau Cazenave Saint Emilion Grand Cru is a beautifully structured wine, presenting a rich garnet color. It opens with alluring aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, and a hint of licorice, underscored by a subtle earthiness. The palate is opulent and velvety, featuring an array of dark fruit flavors intertwined with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and fine leather. Well-integrated tannins contribute to a smooth, profound finish. This wine is a perfect match for beef bourguignon, lamb, or aged cheeses, and has excellent potential for further cellaring.
