Description

This wine is at the pinnacle of the vintage, one of the finest wines made. Energetic and with fabulous substance, it offers supreme balance, with a magical hue and a taffeta touch. Fruit, tannins and acidity all meld with sumptuous harmony. Another masterpiece.

A blend of 37% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 56% Cabernet Sauvignon. Light crimson in colout and slightly gravelly on the nose. Sweet to start, followed by dusty tannins with a fruity core structure.
