The cruise continues! Night eight aboard the Allure of the Seas and 50% off all wines. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.Ī blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. Still young and would be better in 5 to 10 years. Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours in the decanter, but it definitely needs longer than that. Feels like a Napa Cabernet with a Bordeaux touch. This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
