Equuleus, Paul Bosc Estate Vineyard

Equuleus, Paul Bosc Estate Vineyard Wine Details
Price: $35.00 per bottle

Description: The 2002 Equuleus is a classically styled blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc and 25% Merlot. Equuleus is only produced in exceptional vintages and is notable for its age worthiness and concentration. Aged for one year in French Tronçais and Allier oak barrels, Equuleus is rich and full bodied with flavours of cassis and dark chocolate. Equuleus is the name of the “Little Horse” constellation, best seen when it rises in the night sky at harvest time every September. This equine symbol celebrates Château des Charmes’ founder Paul Bosc’s passion for Egyptian Arabian horses which are at the Paul Bosc Estate, the family’s home vineyard. Ready to drink now, but will continue to develop in the bottle for 5-10 years.
