Note di degustazione
The 2015 Les Portes de l'Am is deep garnet-purple in color with a nose of crushed plums, blackberry preserves and Indian spices with earthy notions in the background. Medium-bodied and very firm with a very chewy backbone, it finishes long.

The 2015 Les Portes de l'Am… is the most unctuous and flamboyant of the three wines in proprietor François Dubernand's portfolio at Domaine du Bouscat. A rush of red cherry/raspberry jam, mocha and cocoa makes a strong first impression. This racy, full-throttle red has a lot to offer. Les Portes de l'Am... emerges from a one-hectare parcel of 40+ year-old vines. The blend is 50% Merlot, 25% Malbec and 25% Cabernet Franc.
The top cuvee of the estate is the 2015 Domaine du Bouscat Les Portes de l'Am and it’s 50% Merlot and 25% each of Malbec and Cabernet Franc, from tiny, tiny yields, that was fermented and aged in new barrels. It’s big, ripe, full-bodied effort boasting huge notes of crème de cassis, vanilla, toasted bread and plenty of oak. There’s a lot of oak, but a lot of fruit and concentration as well. Give bottles 2-4 years of bottle age, and I suspect it will drink beautifully for 10-15 years. There are just over 100 cases made.
This is amazing with such depth of fruit and beauty. Full body, velvety textured and a long, long finish. Impressive concentration and backbone.
