This is a classic old-style Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, cask matured for 20 months before bottling. Deeply coloured in the glass, with complex, deeply perfumed cassis, clove, cinnamon, background red berry fruit and a whiff of oak. Intense dark fruit flavours lead off with blackcurrant and background blackberry supported by firm, chewy tannins and still slightly aggressive acidity. This is a fine, age worthy wine that will show its best with 5+ additional years in the cellar.
