Can Rafols dels Caus Gran Caus 2003

Can Rafols dels Caus Gran Caus 2003

  • This is Lafite-beating stuff - Gran Caus 2003 has received 90 points - higher than the 88 point Lafite '93!
  • Decant to let wine interact with air to release the wonderfully complex aromas and flavours.
  • Partner with roasted red meats and game - if you're a veggie then risottos all the way.

A premium (and future classic) Spanish red that stands tall amid the great wines of Bordeaux. Four vineyard sites planted between 1982-87 are used to craft Gran Caus - La Corbata, La Creu, La Pujada, Pals de Fusta. All hand-picked and very low yielding, delivering some exceptionally concentrated grapes. The blend here is Merlot 40%, Cabernet Franc 35% and Cabernet Sauvignon 25% aged in French oak for 12 months to add layers of spicy complexity.
