Force Majeure 'Parabellum BDX' Bordeaux Blend 2014

The entry-level 2014 Parabellum Bordeaux will certainly be an outstanding wine, and in a blind tasting, I’m sure it will seem much closer to the quality of the Estate Cabernet than the price would seem.

Crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, gravel and crushed rock all give way to a full-bodied, pure, elegant 2014 that’s much more upfront and approachable than the grand vin.
