BRYANT BETTINA

Most of the mixture here comes from the vineyard Thorevilos Abreu with a touch of Bryant. Composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, red wine Owner Bettina Bryant 2016 is deep garnet color with an incredibly complex fleshy / earthy nose offering notions of beef, charcuterie, black olives and truffles with dried herbs on a tempting core of cassis, resin, hot plums and blackberries, plus lots of bark covered with moss. Palate medium body is firm, granular and earthy / salt with a long end.

The aromas of blueberries, blackberries and flowers happen to a palate full-bodied, dense and layered with lots of black chocolate, nuts and berries to the end. A touch of white pepper. Shows many tannins, but rounded and smooth. Drinking after 2022.

Dark, sumptuous and beautifully textured glass, Bettina 2016 is positively stellar. All elements come together effortlessly on the glass. The crème de cassis, blueberry jam, spices, new leather and menthol develop, but it is the exceptional balance and raising the wine that stands out. Medium-bodied and super refined, the 2016 is a real pleasure to taste today. As a reminder, Bettina is a mixture made of several vineyards of David Abreu.
