A classic Bordeaux blend that is always refined and attractive at Picardy in the best vintage years. The 2007 harvest just happened to be one of these and this wine is ample proof of a great year coupled with considered, hands-on winemaking. In fact, it is rather reminiscent of the best reds from the Right Bank. Aromas of plum, raspberry, briar, licorice, earth and cedar/vanilla oak. On the palate it is medium to full bodied with plum, raspberry, cassis, earth and subtle cedar flavours. The fruit was pristine and ripe at picking across the three varieties – and it shows. Tannins are ripe and silky, giving an amazing texture to this wine. Acidity is clean and fresh for this blend. The finish is lingering and satisfying. A delicious food wine that is always in the top five of this blend in Western Australia.
