L'Aventure - Optimus - Paso Robles 2021

L'Aventure Winery : lumière sur Paso Robles

Stephan Asseo, propriétaire et winemaker de L’Aventure Winery, a débuté dans le monde du vin en 1982. Il rachète avec sa famille le Château Fleur Cardinale et le Château Robin dans les Côtes de Castillon à Bordeaux. Pendant 15 ans, Stephan œuvre dans les vignes et se fait connaître pour son esprit d'innovation. Il porte un rêve en lui, celui de sortir des carcans de l’AOC et commence à voyager en quête d’un lieu idéal pour cela. En 1997, après une année de recherche, sa famille et lui tombent amoureux d'un terroir unique à l'ouest de Paso Robles. En 1998, l’Aventure est lancée!

Optimus est la parfaite introduction à la gamme de L'Aventure. Également décrit comme leur assemblage Paso "extravagant", l'Optimus se distingue par son équilibre parfait et sa fraîcheur. Ce vin, agréable dès sa jeunesse, peut également être savouré sur une décennie.

This cracker, made from 55% Syrah, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 18% Petit Verdot, is a simply stunning example of a magnificent and perhaps unexpected red blend. So balanced, so honed and incredibly relaxed, this is one of three awesome reds from Aventure, making it a super-star in this release.

The 2021 Optimus, pure Sémillon aged in 70% new oak, has an attractive, clean nose with pretty yellow plum and jasmine scents. It translates the grape variety well. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly waxy entry, creamy in texture thanks to the oa

(Paso Robles AVA; 55% Syrah; 27% Cabernet Sauvignon; 18% Petit Verdot; 36% in Y1; 15% alcohol; tasted with Swann Dufeu from L’Aventure at CVBG). The name Optimus is a concatenation of Opus One + Dominus – an homage to the two. Lithe. Dense and compact. Chewy. The tannins are a little unresolved, but this has a plush, tight dense and charged core. Quite energetic. One senses the limestone tannins. Nice linear structure. Floral, with rose petal essence and pot pourri the first notes to express themselves. Lifted. Elegant. Stylish. There’s a slight suggestion of nail varnish and candlewax too. There’s also a nice salinity, interwoven with the Syrah fruit just as it should be. Deep dark plump plush berries. Very pure and refined, this is not at all a block-buster. Juicy. Polished, with 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.

Rich raspberry colour, kicks off with a slab of slate tannins, then opens up to show life and lift, fennel, aniseed, raspbery and red cherry fruit, full of Californian joy and sunshine, slight burn of heat on the throat, but enticing and memory making. 100% Estate grown fruit from L’Aventure Vineyard. Stephan Asseo owner and winemaker, from the Willow Creek district of Paso Robles.

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.

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.

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.

Moving to the 2021s from bottle and starting with the 2021 Optimus (55% Syrah, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 18% Petit Verdot), it sports a deeper plum/purple hue as well as rocking notes of blackberries, peppery herbs, candied violets, and subtle meaty, savory nuances. It's medium to full-bodied and has a round, layered, silky texture and outstanding length. It’s going to shine for 5-7 years, if not longer.
