I'm continuing to see more and more top-quality Bordeaux blends from Paso and Denner's 2012 Mother Of Exiles is a great example of this trend. Made from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot that saw 22 months in 85% new French oak, it has beautiful cassis, plums, violets, wild herbs and damp earth nuances to go with a full-bodied, fresh, elegant and polished style on the palate. This beauty fleshes out nicely with time in the glass, has a solid mid-palate and fine tannin that frame the finish. Give it a year or three and drink bottles over the following decade.
