Note di degustazione
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot this vintage, the 2021 Laurea Red Wine is a sort of second wine, made up of lots that don't make the cut for Accent's top wine but that are too good to sell off as bulk. It's also meant to be more accessible young. Cherries are joined by some darker, plummy notes and a hint of blueberry on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is plush and velvety, then a bit more stern and tannic on its mocha-tinged finish. Drink it on the younger side with some rare beef or lamb.

The 2021 Laurea comes from lots that didn't play well in the blend, and it's certainly one hell of a "second" wine. Blackcurrants, cassis, spring flowers, and violets all emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, has an elegant seamless mouthfeel, and as with all of Nigel's wines, ultra-fine tannins.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Laurea is a terrific wine for Accendo fans to drink in the near and medium term. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, new leather, tobacco, chocolate and incense are nicely pushed forward in this supremely elegant, juicy Cabernet Sauvignon from the Araujo family.
