This is a real bargain for such a beautiful wine. It’s a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon (both 40%) and the rest Merlot from the fabulous 2016 vintage for Bordeaux varieties. It has an explosive nose of black cherries, raspberries, bramble, currants and light spice. It’s medium-bodied on the palate but still has the stuffing to cellar for 3+ years. It features a range of ripe red fruits, a touch of anise, well integrated spice and pretty decent tannic structure through a long(ish) finish.
