A really enjoyable and versatile Bordeaux blend. The 2004 has a lovely mixture of ripe-berry, plum and woodsy scents, harmonised with just the right amount of quality oak.  It is smooth, well structured, fruit driven and not too assertive in the tannins. The palate is medium-bodied and has the leanness and attractive angularity of a cool climate merlot. The percentages are 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Cabernet Franc. The palate also offers up pleasantly overt Merlot fruit characters and the tell-tale underlying berry notes of the two cabernets. Very approachable now but will also develop with several years in the cellar.
