Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

An 80/20% blend, the colour impeccable; I have always enjoyed this wine, the two varieties providing an exercise in the synergy that blends can bring to the table. Without diminishing the structure or power of the wine, it has a juicy mouthfeel, not to mention a mouthful, of cassis and plum fruit, the tannins quite fine, drawing out the finish.
