Weinwisser
96 % Merlot, 4 % Cabernet Franc, 14,6 %-vol., 42 hl/ha. Sattes Rubin. Komplexes Bouquet mit rotbeerigen Konturen, Sandelholz und Johannisbeergelee, dahinter heller Tabak und Lakritze. Am mittleren Gaumen mit engmaschigem Tanningerüst, mineralischem Kern und fein spröder Textur. Im gebündelten Finale zeigt sich die Delikatesse introvertiert und endet mit Wacholder und Pflaumenhaut. Kann noch zulegen. 

Wine Advocate 
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 La Cabanne sashays out of the glass with fragrant notes of kirsch, black raspberries potpourri and fertile loam over a core of Black Forest cake and warm plums. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is juicy, softly texture and already very expressive, offering tons of freshness and a provocative mineral note on the finish.

The 2019 La Cabanne, which is pure Merlot, has a sensual bouquet with raspberry and wild strawberry aromas, touches of rose petal and just a little dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe tannins, focused and nimble, then gaining weight towards the precise, dark chocolate-tinged finish. This is one of the finest La Cabannes that I have encountered out of barrel. This is a great wine from François Estager. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
