This robust red marries an old-school profile of ripe currant, cured tobacco and toasty smoke flavors with modern flair, offering firm tannins that are deftly knit, plus flashes of melted licorice, candied violet, iron and milled white pepper. Long and supple on the fragrant, herb-laced finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
91pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Sporting a new label, the 2019 Fusion V is bold and expressive with a rich and round mouthfeel. Medium to full-bodied, the tannic structure has a refined, gripping sensation that will remain food-friendly. It ends with a long, spicy finish and elements of bitter dark chocolate. Give it one more year in the bottle, and enjoy it over the next 12 to 13 years. Rating: 91+

This wine needs a few minutes to open up. Once it does, earthy berries, hints of plums and light chocolate notes are revealed on the nose. Black fruit and hints of olive mingle on the smooth palate. There are notes of dark chocolate and mint in the finish. Supple tannins and moderate acidity are enough to provide a good structure.
Winemaker Notes
The iconic Left Bank-based blend from De Toren Fusion V is meticulously crafted from Bordeaux’s 'Noble Five' varietals and, with its complex flavors of licorice, black cherry, cedar and dark berries, it offers a stylish departure for sophisticated oenophilic tastes. Soft as spun silk, with a lingering hint of sweet fruit on the back palate, this is a wine that will only improve with age.
With nuanced and complexed flavors, our renowned De Toren Fusion V wine pairs exceptionally well with perfectly tender grilled or roast lamb, with garlic, rosemary and a hint of honey lemon.
