The 2016 Bordeaux Supérieur 'Reserve' from Château Ribebon is composed of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. It is an excellent showing in in this vintage, offering aromas of ripe cherries and blackberries laced with spring florals, tobacco, toast and exotic spices all coming together in the glass. On the palate this is medium-boded and nicely structured with velvety tannins that lead into the long, refined finish. The Reserve is more accessible than the Cabernet Franc based wines from Château Ribebon and should offer a similar drinking window.
