The 2013 'Reserve' Red Wine is the most exceptional bottling in this impressive range from Leonetti in this vintage. This blend of 81% Cabernet with 11% Petit Verdot and 8% Merlot, which spent 22 months in new and used French oak prior to bottling. The wine has a massive, deep core and possesses some absolutely intoxicating aromatics. This incredible wine begins with aromas of crème de cassis, anise, dark chocolate and black cherries with black olive. The flavors of black cherries, black olive, black tea, mocha and blueberry pie continue to presist on the palate where it offers an absolutely exceptional mouthfeel and texture. Moderately tannic at this time, try to give this impossible to resist wine at least two more years in the bottle to fully develop. A spectacular effort from head winemaker Chris Figgins in crafting this scintillating new release wine. (Best 2018-2037) - September, 2016 (OB)
