Daou Bodyguard 2018 750 ml

The 2017 Bodyguard is a sleek yet powerful blend of Petit Verdot
and Petite Sirah, displaying both opulence and structure.
The 2017 vintage presents fragrant fruit aromas of blackberry,
raspberry, currant and crème de cassis. Notes of cocoa, coffee,
dark chocolate, licorice and sweet cherry pipe tobacco are
rounded out with whispers of truffle, toffee, mocha and menthol.
A juicy, fleshy palate offers bright, generous flavors of cherry,
cranberry, strawberry and blueberry tinged with black raspberry
and tamarind—all supported by underlying accents of dusty leather,
pencil shavings, cigar box and crushed herbs. An elegantly styled
and beautifully structured finish reverberates with focused energy,
vibrant berry fruit and ripe, polished tannins
