WA: The impressive, dense ruby/purple-colored 2002 Heytesbury Proprietary Red, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with tiny dollops of Merlot, Malbec, and Shiraz, offers up scents of cigar smoke, dried Provencal herbs, blackberries, and currants. It is the fullest-bodied, most concentrated and structured of the Vasse Felix offerings. Chocolate, cedar, and black currant characteristics appear in the flavor profile of this moderately tannic offering. Give it 1-2 more years of bottle age, and consume it over the following 10-12. Importer: Negociants, USA, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-0993
