Stefan Dolhain

2011 vintage. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 20% syrah, 10% merlot, 5% petit verdot. From the southern part of the Bekaa Valley, at 900 meters altitude. Young estate (first vintage 2007 it seems), consulted by Stéphane Derenoncourt. Very dark red colour. Intense nose reminiscent of fresh black cherries, blackberries, eucalyptus and a hint of cocoa powder. Juicy black fruit and subtle spices in the mouth, with amazing acidity keeping the high alcohol (15,5% abv.) in balance. Black fresh fruit remains until the end, the wood is perfectly integrated. Very good indeed. Serve slightly chilled at about 14 to 16 degrees Celsius to prevent the alcohol to dominate.
