2008
From Kenzo Estate
The 2008 Kenzo Estate Ai Cabernet Sauvignon opens with an expressive bouquet of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and cassis, layered with notes of violet, graphite, and subtle cedar. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious blend of dark berry fruit, mocha, and hints of licorice, framed by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. The wine’s mountain origins impart a sense of freshness and minerality, while the extended aging in French oak adds depth and complexity. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, spice, and a touch of earthiness, promising further evolution with cellaring.
