The Jean Leon Vinya Le Havre Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva was far better than the food.
Nice chat with friends.
- On the nose the harmony of its aromas, mature red fruit, currants, and plums stands out over a background of spices and toasted notes resulting from its ageing in barrel.
- It has a voluptuous entry into the mouth and an excellent structure. It is characterised by its great elegance.
- Ideal to accompany red meats, such as griddled beef entrecote.
- Limited stock, 2007 vintage coming soon.
