Deep ruby-purple, it has a pure core of cassis and slowly unfolding accents of licorice, cured meats, tobacco leaves, cedar and truffle. Full-bodied, juicy and alluring, it floods the mouth with layers of blue fruit, floral perfume and spice. It is supported by powdery tannins and boasts a tremendously long, detailed finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jjbuckley.com\/wine\/2020-laventure-estate-cuvee\/2020-10204-750\/?srsltid=AfmBOoplQqfTQOaIEPqjGuD9idUkjTkAW6lgC1P1yjZG0j-nCoqo3Bl-#\" class=\"read-less\" aria-label=\"show less\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"icon-minus\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"score\"\u003e 97 \u003c\/span\u003eDecanter, August 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-4 review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text text-readmore\"\u003eDark chocolate, a bit animalistic, so brooding and dark. Sumptuous texture, rich and deep yet vibrant too, this is plush and opulent but there is refinement here, you can feel the sculpting of the fruit and the tannins, there is nuance and detail to the different aspects. It's still quite massy and bold, it's a big style, lots going on with plenty of power and punch but a deliciously bright and lifted understone with acidity to keep it from being too heavy. Strawberry touches, blackberries, cinnamon, pepper, toast, tobacco and cocoa, all melding together with a lingering piquancy that lasts and lasts. A classic and memorable wine. Ageing 15 months in French oak (80% new, 20% one year old).\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jjbuckley.com\/wine\/2020-laventure-estate-cuvee\/2020-10204-750\/?srsltid=AfmBOoplQqfTQOaIEPqjGuD9idUkjTkAW6lgC1P1yjZG0j-nCoqo3Bl-#\" class=\"read-less\" aria-label=\"show less\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"icon-minus\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-4 review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"score\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 97 \u003c\/span\u003eVinous, May 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text text-readmore\"\u003eA beguiling blend of dusty violets, crushed stone, musky black currants and grilled herbs makes the 2020 Estate Cuvée impossible to ignore. Racy yet supple, this soothes with its ripe red and black fruits while also exciting the palate through a core of zesty acidity. A staining of minerality lingers as the 2020 finishes with epic length and potency. Grippy tannins tug at the perimeters of the palate, leaving nuances of black licorice and clove to resonate. This radiant beauty has a very bright future. It's a blend of 45% Syrah, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot. -- Eric Guido\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Terra Firma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42831760883944,"sku":null,"price":259.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/4901\/8807\/files\/images_45.jpg?v=1767634580","url":"https:\/\/shop.claytonwinehouse.com\/products\/2019-laventure-estate-cuvee","provider":"Clayton Winehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
