Note di degustazione
Beginning dense, bold and juicy, the 2017 Fusion V offers up aromas of crème de cassis, black raspberry jus, spiced cherries jubilee, dusty red flowers with a soft notion of dried herbs and plenty of gorgeous oak spices to fill in the gaps. Full-bodied, the palate shows delineated expressions of juicy black and dark red fruit flavors before elements of raw cinnamon stick, dusty roses and spice red tea flutter across the mid-palate. Lively acidity and fine-grained tannins lift the experience before concluding with a long, persistent finish that will remain food-friendly for another decade.

The 2017 De Toren Fusion V, the Left Bank Bordeaux-based blend, 90% raised in 50% new French oak, is deep garnet in color. It has a well-defined blackberry, bilberry and soy-tinged nose, touches of pencil shaving coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, almost Médoc-like tannins, quite structured and more austere compared to older vintages that I have tasted, especially in the context of a ripe growing season. Noticeably bitter toward the finish. Personally, I would afford this a couple of years in the cellar just to shave the edges, but it is a commendable Stellenbosch Bordeaux blend, one that cohered nicely after two or three hours.
