86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5 % Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec.
A fuller structured palate this year where elegance is still the dominant theme with some jubyness yet also feels dry and dusty. Ripe mulberry and blueberries are the predominant flavour with baking spice fine-grained graphite tannins and a long pencilly finish. A bold expression that will need time to flourish.
As usual, a tiptop Parterre with enticing florals giving way to mulberries and boysenberries, dried herbs, choc-mint and more besides. It’s medium-bodied and wonderfully savoury with powdery tannins and great length. And it will age gracefully.
