Tasting note by Ambrose Nock
A friendly and inviting right bank blend of 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, showing a plentitude of rich and fleshy primary fruits.
There is a wide spectrum of flavours here, ranging from bright red fruits, through to black currants, star anise and a hint of tomato leaf.
The oak is subtle, content in the back seat, whilst the refreshing acidity takes the steering wheel and fine-grained, chalky tannins watch from the passenger side.
An excellent expression of right bank style, this would make an exceptionally fine dance partner through winter or, of course, much longer if you wish.
