Château Aney, Haut-Médoc (Bordeaux, France) 2015

 This classic Haut-Medoc boasts mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with a perfect balance of power and finesse.   The blackcurrant, black cherries, baking spices, and herbaceousness notes play off each other in waves, leading to a long, lifted finish with a desirable hint of glossy oak flavors.  The acidity is just right, letting the fruit and tannin come to the forefront.   The winery, Château Aney, was sold to Clément Fayat, and its production is now used to "flesh out" Fayat’s second wine.  So drink this while you can!  For the sake of completeness, the blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 7% Cab Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
