Cabernet Sauvignon 59%, Cabernet Franc 15%, Merlot 10%, Petit Verdot 9%, Malbec 7%.A pretty wine of a tightly belted, svelte nature. It’s floral, offering plum and red fuits, some cocoa in with cedar and tobacco savouries, Medium-weight, fine powdery tannin is assertive, but not dominant, brisk acidity though its core, and a redcurrant and tobacco finish of excellent length.

A very floral blend that has Bordeaux written all over it. It shows red plums, redcurrants, blackcurrants, cedar, tobacco, fresh herbs and roses. The palate shows resounding freshness and purity. Although this isn’t the biggest of wines, it certainly does well to make up for it with pristinely crafted tannins, razor-sharp acidity and a juicy finish.
