Written Notes

A blend of 47.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40.1% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 3.6% Petit Verdot.


Deep garnet-red color. The nose is opulent and plush with rich notes of ripe red plums, brambles, blackcurrants, some spices, clove and orange blossoms. The palate is full-bodied and smooth, with round gentle tannic structure, lively fresh red and black berry fruitiness and lingering spicy finish. Drinking well now, but will peak in 3-5 years and keep well a decade after that. Perfect match with grilled lamb, smoked venison and pulled pork BBQ. – JL 94p (Nov 2024)
