Tasting note

This is a blend of 41% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 8% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. Dark in hue, the wine begins with aromas of black cherry, cassis, vanilla and cloves. The wine has an appealing core of fruit on the palate, including flavours of blueberry, black currant and black cherry with a hint of spice and chocolate. The long ripe tannins and the 19 months of barrel-aging give the wine an incredibly polished elegance and a finish that persists. Score - 93.
