Written Notes

The decidedly sensual nose offers mixed floral and fruity notes. Hibiscus, lavender, wild violet and magnolia blend well with cherries, green tea leaves, guarana, powder and coriander. Full-bodied, solid and pronounced, it shows remarkable texture and a very long progression on the palate. Savoury and very fresh, it has the right degree of austerity that will soften with the action of time. A blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot. Best from 2027.

Deep colour. Cassis, dark chocolate, espresso aromas. Richly flavoured wine with blackcurrant, espresso, dark chocolate flavours, fine loose- knit chalky/grainy tannins, lovely natural density and vanilla/roasted chestnut notes. Finishes minerally and long. Very good precision and suppleness. 88% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot. 18 months in 70% new and 30% second-use French oak barriques.
