Jonata's 630-case 2012 El Desafio de Jonata checks in as a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon
The relatively dense tannins are actually fairly refined for the appellation but this will still require at least 15 years to be at its best
Another fabulous vintage from Domaine Giraud that is coming along perfectly
Alluringly sweet and expansive in the mouth
earth and a hint of humus give way to equally earthy medium weight flavors that possess good volume and a fine muscularity
Labegorce Zede other_regions_italy Jonata's 630-case 2012 El DesafioThe 1996 is dense, peppery, and smoky, with some austerity, but rich, medium bodied flavors, as well as fine power, depth, and ripeness. The wine will need 3 4 years of cellaring, and will keep for 10 15. This is a solidly made effort from the Margaux appellation.
