Description:
The musts from each grape variety, 44% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Franc, 12% Syrah and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, are prepared separately, and blended after 12 months ageing in French oak. The result is a complex, fruit dominant wine, with many nuances on both the nose and palate.
The blackberry and black pepper nuances of Syrah, the leather and plum aromas of Merlot, the aromatic spice and red currant character of Cabernet Franc plus the cassis and spine from Cabernet Sauvignon, have combined to produce a complex, fruit dominant wine. The sensitive oak ageing has added a further dimension to the wine without being obvious. Richness and soft, ripe tannins make this wine a serious yet eminently drinkable wine.
