2014 St. Supéry Elu Meritage

Their 2014 Elu Proprietary Red is a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 12% Malbec and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. This sees 100% French oak for 19 months, of which 46% is new. Loads of crème de cassis, blueberry, honeysuckle, plum and coffee bean notes are present in this lush, opulent, sexy and open-knit wine that is a characteristic of 2014. The acidity is low, the tannin fine-grained and the wine irresistible already. Drink it over the next 15 or so years.
