This deep ruby\/purple-hued effort offers a terrific nose of ripe blackberries, peppery herbs, violets, and game to go with a full-bodied, concentrated, yet beautifully balanced style on the palate. I love its tannins, it has soft, supple mouthfeel, and a great finish. \u003cstrong\u003eIt’s already drinking beautiful and will evolve nicely for 8-10 years\u003c\/strong\u003e.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Parker:\u003c\/b\u003e \"....\u003cstrong\u003eConsistently thrilling wines come from l’Aventure\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is run with incredible talent and passion by St. Emilion native Stephan Asseo.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L'Aventure Optimus is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot that entices with a tangy cherry, chocolate and mineral-inflected bouquet. The palate is redolent of mixed berry pie, with peppery spice and a dose of saddle leather. But this isn't a total fruit bomb, there's plenty of acidity to keep it fresh, and subtle tannins.                     \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brix26","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41294511603794,"sku":"7411492487250","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/products\/Optimus2019.jpg?v=1771365227","url":"https:\/\/www.brix26.com\/products\/laventure-2022-optimus-paso-robles","provider":"Brix26 Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
