Liber Pater 2007

The Liber Pater 2007 has a very fine nose with some green herbal notes with a perfumed, earthy undertow. The palate is earthy, perfumed with sweet violet and fine old cigars, dark cassis fruit, some minerality and licorice. The finish is good and dry at first but evolved – you crave the merest squirt of juice to soften and irrigate those tannins, which you fear aren’t going to get any sweeter. A very fine wine at its peak.

Liber Pater wines possesses finesse and elegance. Our viticultural processes’ goal is to keep the vines planted by our ancestors productively fruitful for as long as possible. The cabernet sauvignon in our blend provides important aging potential and a wealth of aromas reminiscent of black berries, licorice, black currants, violets and black cherries. With time these will develop into fragrances of cedar, spices, roasted offee beans and leather with the occasional mineral or cigar-box touches. The blending of merlot adds fruitiness and an incomparably voluptuous texture, while a touch of petit verdot and malbec add spice and color.
