La Forge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Unfiltered 2012

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Country of origin: France
Wine appellation: Languedoc
Vintage: 2012
Alcohol content: 14.0%
Color: medium ruby red
Bouquet:  black sour cherries, hint of black currant, some earthiness and spices
Taste: medium body, gentle and rounder style, black cherries, black currant, lower acidity, black pepper, spices, medium finish
Overall score: 3+7+11+6+6=83
Price: CZK 179
Stopper: cork
The wine is packaged in very heavy bottle, raising the expectations quite higher than the content does actually prove. However, it is nice, slightly earthy, style of Cab Sauv, but nothing groundbreaking. I would say it needs time to age a bit in the bottle as well to fully develop. For interest check the Syrah 2007 and Merlot 2005 from the same winery tasted in 2010 and 2009 respectively.
