2014 Lady May, Glenelly Estate, Stellenbosch
2014 Lady May, Glenelly Estate, Stellenbosch
Named after May de Lencquesaing, winemaker and former owner of the famous Château, Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Pauillac, Lady May is a red blend made very much in the Bordeaux style.
Although the exact composition varies slightly from vintage to vintage, it will typically sit at around 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc,11% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot, resulting in a rich, complex and warming red that rewards cellaring.
"A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2014 Lady May begins with a dark, dusty, brooding nose with aromas of oak spices, dusty blackberry, black plum, sage and a rocky minerality. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is balanced with dusty dark red fruit essence that gives way to gripping tannins. Concluding with a long, dusty and drawn-out finish, persistent flavors of bitter dark chocolates, mature cedar and dusty black cherries continue to evolve after the wine has left the mouth. Give it some time in the cellar for the tannins to settle, and I recommend decanting up to an hour before pouring. This will age well until its twentieth birthday – drink now to 2034+."
