This new Buré Cabernet blend (20% Cabernet Franc) is dense, rich and hedonistic with a strong backbone of dark fruit including deftly balanced blueberry, juicy plums, leathery tobacco, and creamy vanilla from the new French oak. The profound tannins introduce this impressive wine’s pedigree….all deftly melded together within an silky smooth texture and mouth coating flavors of cocoa and baking spices that linger on the seductive finish inviting another taste. Buré Cabernet is worth of a 97 point rating tonight (after decanting 30 minutes) and has the structure to age well for a decade, peaking into a 98 point classic around 2016 in our estimate.
