L' Aventure Optimus 2021

95
/100

Modnet i 14 måneder på 60 procent ny fransk eg og 40 procent second growth, malolaktisk i fadet. Dyb, lys rubinrød farve. Optimus slår straks tonen an for L'Aventure: overdådig næse med mørk, kraftfuld, hedonistisk, imponerende frugt. Modne blåbær, blommer, stuvede blommer, koncentrerede, søde sorte kirsebær, brune krydderier, nellikepeber, oliventapenade, potpourri, krydret fersk kød, jern, læder. Den mørke mineralitet er mindst lige så imponerende som frugten. Fint røget, monumental. Denne vin leverer et fantastisk samspil mellem tryk, finesse og elegance. Selv næsen er ultraimponerende! I munden mødes tungen af cremet, endda silkeagtig frugt. Modne sorte kirsebær, brombær og blåbær med et strejf af vanilje. Den salte stenethed går over i syltede violer og blomster. Laurbærblad, nelliker, peber. Elegante, næsten saftige tanniner og en vidunderlig harmoniserende friskhed. En vin, der vil have godt af et par års flaskelagring på trods af sin tilgængelighed. Bravo!

Colin Hay om: L' Aventure Optimus

Floral, with rose petal essence and pot pourri the first notes to express themselves. Lifted. Elegant. Stylish. Candlewax. A slight suggestion of nail varnish. Deep dark plump plush berries. Very pure and refined, this is not at all a block-buster. Juicy. Polished. Lots of finesse. Velvety textured, with quite a dense and perhaps surprisingly four-square central block of dark fruit, graphite and pepper surrounded by very fine-grained, soft and supple, almost delicate tannins. Nicely pixilated 95/100

Parker om: L' Aventure Optimus

The 2021 Optimus is an elegant, polished blend of 55% Syrah, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Petit Verdot. It takes plenty of air to reveal maraschino cherry, blueberry, leather, aniseed, gravel dust and garrigue aromas. The full-bodied palate offers expansive, spicy fruit framed by powdery tannins and focused acidity, and it has a long, latent finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle. 95/100

Suckling om: L' Aventure Optimus

Ripe blackberries, cassis and plum skins with blood orange, anisette and wet stones on offer. Full-bodied with compact, refined tannins and velvety texture. Generous and plentiful with a deep core of black fruit and a spiced chocolatey finish. Really well made. A blend of 5% syrah, 27% cabernet sauvignan and 18% petit verdot. Drink or hold. 92/100

Decanter om: L' Aventure Optimus

Sleek and straight, I love the texture here, smooth and so filling in a caressing kind of way. Tannins are lovely, soft and subtle, and this has a delicate sweetness with some savoury touches and bright acidity giving tang. It's lean and straight, gorgeous streamlined elements, nothing too massy or plump, but keeps the intensity of flavour al the way and ends still with lift and bite and juice. I like this a lot, it's not trying too hard to overplease. Glossy and shiny. Floral and finessed.

Galloni om: L' Aventure Optimus

The 2021 Optimus is darkly floral and savory in style, with a whiff of grilled herbs and ashen stone giving way to dried black cherries. It is seamlessly silken in feel and envelops the palate in mineral-inflected red berry fruits that slowly saturate toward the close. Structured and intense, this wine leaves a tart raspberry concentration framed by sweet tannins as violet inner florals taper off. Optimus is a blend of 55% Syrah, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Petit Verdot that was aged for one year in 50% new French oak.

L’Aventure
