Rich and concentrated, smooth and sensuous, really delivering the Medoc character in terms of fresh fruit, herbal scents, soft spicing and gorgeous acidity. Joyful, lifted, balanced. Not massively complex but incredibly enjoyable, I love the texture, the slightly chalky sensation to the tannins and the lingering taste of blackcurrant. Crunchy, fresh, fruity, vibrant and thrilling. Blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc; 20% aged for nine months in oak barrels, 80% in stainless steel tanks.
