Tasting notes
55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 13% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, 9% Malbec. Aged for 23 months in French oak (40% new). Still pure in fruit character, with fresh blackcurrant aromas as well as lots of pencil-shaving complexity. Generous fruit on the palate with finely-ground tannins that give wonderful texture without astringency. Long, warm finish that will surely develop for many years. (RH)

Impressively fresh floral aromas here, then a spread of red berries, blueberries and blackberries. Very pure and primary. The palate is elegantly stated and shows a restrained touch, with red-berry and red-plum flavors sitting vibrant and juicy amid smoothly honed, long and ripe tannins. Polished and discreetly powerful. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit verdot and malbec. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
