Load more notes"Le Capitaine" is the tribute paid to the late Denis Dubourdieu, it was his last vintage. A deeply impressing wine with dark purple colour and violet hue. The nose is multi-layered with aroma reminiscent of ripe elderberries, blackcurrants and blackberries, refined toasting, a touch of vanilla, gingerbread spices, slightly floral hints and aromatic herbs in the background. This blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot displays a powerful character on the palate with great depth and true class, showing freshness with fine acidity and hints of minerality. The rich fruit of the nose is quoted on the palate, complemented by well balanced toasting and mild spices. A very concentrated wine with almost exceptional length showing an enormous potential.
