Description
Two-thirds merlot, one-third cabernets and 16 months barrel-ageing, 65% new. This is a powerful wine with lots of character. A complex nose of ripe plum, blackberries, wood spice and tobacco. On the palate, a subtle herbaceous note, liquorice and chocolate and lots of plump, juicy red and black fruit. The tannins are ripe and firm and the wine is full and powerful. It will benefit from a few years in the bottle, but can be enjoying younger with some decanting and some hearty, full flavoured food such a marbled sirloin steak or an aged comté.
