Glen Carlou Tortoise Hill

this has developed quite favorably over the last few years. it is more integrated now, and almost ready to drink. an exuberant mixture of dark red and black fruit, cedar, mineral, iron oxide, hay, raw meat. full body. 25 Caudalie, stable (!). drink now or until 2018.

a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Shiraz, Tempranillo and Merlot (isn't that a bit much?). fragrant nose, Cabernet is obviously the backbone. nicely integrated. mature.
