Bure Cabernet Sauvignon Majesty Blend 2008

This new Buré Cabernet blend features bold and rich dark fruit including deftly balanced blackberry, cassis, black cherry, leathery tobacco, and a hint of toffee from the new French oak. The plush tannins are extremely well balanced across an silky smooth texture and mouth coating flavors of cocoa and baking spices that linger on the seductive finish for a full minute. Buré Cabernet is ready for ‘prime time’ enjoyment tonight (after decanting) and has the structure to age well for the next 5 – 7 years, peaking around 2016 in our estimate.
