Written Notes

Deep ruby red colour. Intense nose is bit reserved but charming with its ripe blackcurrant and bramble nose with spicy tones. Medium-bodied, round and mellow palate. Gentle, round fine-grained tannins with lovely toasty spiciness in the lingering finish. A firm and solid Claret. Peaking in 2023-2026. If enjoyed now, decant for 2 hours and serve at 17-18°C with roasted beef and grilled root vegetables. JL 91p (4/2019)
