Peter Michael, L'Esprit des Pavots Size:12x750ml fruit and a dense textureA gorgeous second wine, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon L'Esprit des Pavots is succulent, racy and inviting. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice and new leather flesh out in this super expressive, pliant red wine from Peter Michael. Floral overtones add lift through to the finish.
