True to its Bordeaux heritage, the 2021 Bequest exudes elegance and complexity. Inviting brick-red core with purple hues suggests the first-time inclusion of Malbec in the blend this year. On the nose, aromas of springtime flowers like violets and sage intertwine with peppery notes of white pepper and paprika. The palate is defined by a taut structure, with ripe wild blackberries and dried plums taking center stage. Delicate notes of musk and anise emerge mid-palate, adding complexity to the core of dark fruit. The finish is long and remarkably finessed, showcasing an interesting reciprocity between the initial floral aromas and the lingering flavors of dark fruit. This wine is a testament to our art of blending Bordeaux varietals, where each element complements the others to create an astonishing experience.
