Note di degustazione
The 2019 Flying Pig bursts from the glass with a bouquet of spiced citrus rinds giving way to dusty rose, wild blueberries and wet stone. This is silky-smooth with medium-bodied weight and vividly ripe wild berry fruits complemented by rosemary and olive nuances. Residual acidity keeps the mouth watering through the dramatic finale, as notes of licorice and peppery herbal tones resonate throughout. The combination of 45% Cabernet Franc and 44% Merlot really works wonders here, showing the best traits of both varieties, nicely offset by an 11% dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2019 Flying Pig is a blend of 45% Cabernet Franc, 44% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose expresses dark red and black fruit aromas with fresh notes of sage and sweet red pepper. Medium to full-bodied, the wine has a bright and flashy flavor profile, a polished frame and savory notes before an umami essence gives way to hints of black truffle and firm tannins. The wine is both elegant and fresh.
Sporting one of the best labels out there (it literally has a flying pig on it), the 2019 Flying Pig is 45% Cabernet Franc, 44% Merlot, and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon. I love its texture, and it's incredibly pure, refined, and seamless, with medium to full bodied richness as well as a Bordeaux-like nose of blackcurrants, mulled cherries, sandalwood, leafy herbs, sweet earth, and hints of charcoal. It has some upfront appeal, yet the tannins emerge with time in the glass, and this beauty warrants 3-5 years in the cellar. It's going to have 20-25+ years of prime drinking. It's a stunning wine and matches the 2018 as one of the finest vintages out there.
