The 2022 Blankiet Estate ‘Proprietary Red’ comprises 77.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11.8% Merlot, 4.9% Cabernet Franc and 5.4% Petit Verdot. It is a stunning embodiment of class and sophistication, enticing the senses with an expressive bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and luscious black currants. The aroma is beautifully complemented by delicate floral notes, adding elegance to the wine’s profile. As it unfolds, hints of graphite, spices, and a touch of black olives introduce a refined complexity that enhances its overall character. On the palate, the wine showcases a remarkable purity of fruit, seamlessly balanced with a polished structure that underscores its sophistication. Each sip reveals a harmonious blend of flavors, culminating in a long, graceful finish that reflects the craftsmanship of Blankiet. This is a total beauty that will certainly age gracefully and offer years of drinking pleasure ahead.’
