Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (72%), Merlot (19%), Cabernet Franc (6%) and Petite Verdot (3%). Dark garnet/ruby/purple/black color. Aromas of ripe black fruit, rose petals, cigar box and smoked meat. Flavors of blackberry, black currant and black plum fruit with additional hints of tobacco, black olives and cloves. Long lasting velvety finish. Full bodied with noticeable (but well integrated) tannins. Beautiful freshness. Rich and powerful but so well balanced. Consistently Outstanding vintage after vintage. Could continue to age for decades! — 6 days ago
At 10.5% abv, this is both thirst-quenching and austere, with the Chenin providing just enough ripeness of fruit to bring things into balance. 750 mL will be easily finished by one person, so unless you’re drinking alone, buy at least two bottles — 2 months ago
Bordeaux aromas and like opening the wine game box 😋 Still fresh colour and some tobacco and pencil shavings on palate. Good claret that will improve further — 2 months ago
Cigar box, red pepper, ink, a bit subdued, beautifully balanced, acidity and structure, pressure, gravel path. Needs some oxygen to wake from its hibernation. — 4 months ago
