The 2022 ‘Prince of Hearts’ is a wonderful representation of elegance and sophistication the estate showcases in this vintage. It begins to impress with its rich tapestry of aromas. Notes of luscious blackberries, dark cherries, and vibrant black currants harmonize beautifully with violets, graphite, tobacco, and spices, which all emerge, adding a refined complexity to the profile. It is impeccably balanced on the palate, showcasing a polished structure that highlights its elegance without overshadowing its fruit-forward nature. Each sip reveals a seamless integration of flavors, leading to a long, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression. This Cabernet / Merlot cuvée is not only a testament to Blankiet’s renowned winemaking but also a perfect choice for those seeking a wine that embodies both richness and finesse at a modest price. Composed of 40.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44.8% Merlot, 9.7% Cabernet Franc and 4.9% Petit Verdot.
